THREE local breweries and a popular North Bendigo hotel will join forces again this weekend for a Spring Equinox Party.<\/p>\n
The 10-hour event will feature spring-themed beers from Bendigo Brewing, Cornella Brewery and the Brewers Collective, and will take place at The Cambrian Hotel in Arnold Street.<\/p>\n
It will run from 3pm tomorrow, Saturday 20 September, to 1am on Sunday and will feature beers selected to suit the season.<\/p>\n
Cornella Brewery’s offerings will include its Forest Fruit Gose and ‘Single Flower’ DDH IPA (double dry hopped India pale ale).<\/p>\n
The Green Cube Hazy IPA will be among Bendigo Brewing products available, and the Brewers Collective’s Dunkelweizen will also be on the list.<\/p>\n
A charity trivia competition will take place from 8pm, with all proceeds to go towards Sonia Brit Tavener’s Gofundme cancer treatment appeal, and West Goornong Massive will perform a ‘Pubstep’ set in the beer garden.<\/p>\n
Ms Brit is a well-known local artist and designer who has been battling brain cancer since a diagnosis in 2012.<\/p>\n
This weekend’s event is free for anyone to drop in and sample the offerings, but bookings for a meal in the bistro should be made by phoning 5443 3363.<\/p>\n
Steph Hunter, who operates Bendigo Brewing with husband Evan, said the party followed a similar event on 21 June, which celebrated the winter solstice with dark-themed beers.<\/p>\n
She said the three breweries and the Cambrian had teamed up to present that event, and decided to do the same again for its spring equivalent.<\/p>\n
Ms Hunter said the hotel was a champion of local and craft beers and had proven to be an ideal location for calendar dates such as these.<\/p>\n
“From all reports, I’ve heard that everyone had an excellent time,” Ms Hunter said of June’s party.<\/p>\n
“I wasn’t able to attend because I was due for a baby five days later. (But) I only heard great things; it was a packed house.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
