Beer and Bubbles is back, bringing with it only the best Australian beer and local and international sparkling wine, all for your perusal.

Among the 50-plus brews featured will be those of hometown favourites Mismatch, Pirate Life, Prancing Pony and Pikes Beer Company, as well as visitors Young Henry’s, Stone and Wood and Hawkers.

Keeping you fed, NOLA, Mothervine, Soi 38, Iberia and Tasting Room will be the non-alcoholic focal point, and as the afternoon progresses hopefully conversation will stick to the generous assortment of beverages, a welcome distraction from that news bite happening all over your social media feeds.

Vardon Avenue’s gates open from 12pm to 5pm this Saturday, 12 November. Tickets are available here for $35, tastings are free, and full pour tokens can be purchased at entry.
