Wildflower Brewing Euro Summer Release Party

Overview

Sydney's funkiest, most boundary-pushing brewery Wildflower is releasing a new brew and inviting everyone 'round to celebrate. To kick off 2024, the Brompton Street favourite is unveiling its 2023 Etoile su Sud in collaboration with France's Brasserie Thiriez, and it's throwing an appropriately European-themed summer bash to launch the beer on Saturday, January 13.

Hotluck Snack Club will be in charge of the day's eats, serving a stacked lineup of Euro summer bites. There will be twice-cooked frites with a range of sauces for dipping including curried andalouse, XO Big Mac sauce and tofujang; a chip butty with burnt onion butter and fried peppers; chicken liver and mince oyako kipcorn dogs; fried spring rolls filled with nduja and scamorza; and a flammkuchen calzone packed with fromage blanc, crispy lupcheong and caramelised onion.

For drinks you can get your hands on the Wildflower Etoile du Sud, of course, as well as Brasserie Thiriez's Etoie du Nord and Petite Princesse, and Wildflower's 2022 Fatome collaboration, Fatome d'or.

Last year the Wildflower crew travelled over to Esquelbecq in northern France with local Motueka hop flowers in order to bring this special France-meets-Australia collab to life.

If you want to get your hands on some interesting and rare beers paired with flavour-packed eats, Wildflower is the place to be on Saturday.
