Tasmania: Beer and Cheese

Overview

The Oaks Hotel is celebrating the second in their six states of beer event, with a tribute to Tassie on tap. Enjoy the best craft beers the region has to offer while sampling their signature cheeses.

Self-titled 'Beer Diva' Kirrily Waldhorn will be in attendance to inform and educate guests about the craft beers they are sampling. Some of the featured Tassie beers are Cascade Blonde Wheat Beer, Van Diemen White Hills, and Morrison Brewery English Bitters, among others.

Chef Danny Russo is cooking up dishes that incorporate Tasmania's finest cheese, including cheese and truffle toasties, cheese risotto with thyme and almonds, and stout-battered apple fritters with blue cheese. If you're able to stuff down any more cheese after that, there will also be blind cheese tastings.

With two states down, The Oaks has four more to cover, including a New South Wales sampling of beer and local pork in August. A national passport ticket is available that gives access to all remaining events (including Tasmania) for $200.
