Celebrate International Beer Day at these iconic Perth spots
Beer lovers are spoilt for choice in this market, from unique sours to full-flavoured IPAs and even non-alcoholic options — whatever tickles your fancy, there is something for everyone.
PerthNow has put together a list of must-visit spots around town that offer a variety of settings from coastal views to stunning rooftops, we've got you covered on where to sip, savour and celebrate this International Beer Day.
This independent microbrewery has cemented itself as a favourite amongst East Perth locals, it's got a great, friendly, warehouse vibe, and, of course, the beer offering is on point.
They've got a westside hazy pale ale with tropical fruit flavours and a slight lemon twist for those who like their beers more colourful and fuller bodied.
Or, a 'justa lager' which, as the name suggests, is a straightforward everyday drinking beer described as a hybrid of a European and Australian styles.
The food is also a staying point, provided by a venue-in-a-venue Brown Street Grill that sits inside the walls of the microbrewery where the main event is the wood fired grill.

The biggest brewpub in the city, Pirate Life Perth is all about bold, hop-forward brews, a neat selection of their namesake beers and quality flame grilled feeds.
The beers on tap are all quality and cater to every beer-loving palate, including Perth-brewed originals as well as some from their Adelaide home base.
Pick up a paddle of any four beers of your choice and you've found the ultimate spot to indulge in a selection of delicious brews for an after-work treat.

Stepping away from the inner city and heading to the coast to iconic WA venue 'The Cott', where the salty sea air is calling you to come for a pint.
On the Verandah Bar, you'll discover your new favourite brew with an extensive selection of 18 beers on tap, and you can indulge while taking in the best view of the Indian Ocean in Perth.
Even with a chill in the air, the sun still comes out, so it's a terrific spot to join the beach-going public and Cottesloe locals and enjoy a brew on International Beer Day.
The food is also on point with a selection of small plates (think olives, oysters, squid and octopus), pizzas as well as main events like fish and chips, a seafood stew and pan-fried gnocchi. Cottesloe Beach Hotel in Cottesloe. Credit: Supplied
Back in the inner city, you can't go past the Oxford Street strip to keep you well hydrated with delicious beer and scrumptious food on International Beer Day.
The Leederville Precinct features venues The Garden, Servo Yard Bar and The Leederville Hotel among others and will leave you feeling full, content and a little bit tipsy.
The Garden features more than 13 beers on tap and they rotate often, but have some cemented favourites like the Leedy Local Draught and a strong selection of James Squire offerings.
The food has a distinct Italian slant with the menu divided into antipasti, pasta and 'secondi' (the main course after entrée and 'primi' the pasta course).
It's a similar story at Servo nearby where the selection ranges from the tried and true favourite lagers to something a bit more 'on trend' with offerings like Rocky Ridge 'Rock Candy' fruited sour and a Margaret River Beer Company 'In The Pines' NEIPA.
They have an extensive menu to keep those hunger pangs at bay as they're open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
A trip to the area would not be complete without a stop at The Leederville Hotel for a classic pub-meets-party energy, where more than a dozen cold ones are available on tap.
Whether this International Beer Day you want to party hard and sample all the brews or relax in a courtyard in a quieter affair, you'll find both on offer in The Leederville Precinct. The Leederville Precinct in Leederville, which features venues like the Garden. Credit: Supplied
For lovers of the more classic WA beer, Swan Draught, you can pick up a pint for less than 10 dollars for a limited time.
It's the people's beer and a session drink, so you can settle into a plate of ribs alongside WA's favourite draught and be set for the afternoon.
If you're after something a little bit more refined, they have Stone & Wood Pacific Ale, Pirate Life and Voodoo Ranger Hazys on offer too, among others. Ribs Lane in Mount Lawley and Subiaco. Credit: Supplied
If you prefer to celebrate International Beer Day on a rooftop, overlooking the city skyline with a frosty in your hand, you'd be best off heading to Terrarium in Perth's CBD.
While primarily focused on crafting cocktails for punters, this bar does have a decent offering to celebrate International Beer Day.
Grab yourself a schooner or a pint of some beautiful South West brews from Beerfarm, CBCo Brewing and Margaret River Beer Co as well as a solid collection of packaged beers.
In the eats department, the offering starts off at nibbles (nuts, olives and 'kikones' - fried Spanish corn kernels) through to small bites (parfait, potatoes, arancini) and more substantial eats (burgers, a steak sandwich and pasta).
International Beer Day is a great opportunity to gather some friends, work colleagues or family members (the ones you like) for a frosty brew and some decent food and Perth has it in spades. Terrarium Perth in the CBD. Credit: Supplied

Howdy partner: dating app blooms new look B&S ball
Sweet peas, gum branches and pear blossoms adorn the rafters of an old grain shed, transforming it into a dance hall for one momentous night as singles hope to meet their match. The Bachelor and Spinster Bushwackers' Ball in Yarranlea, a rural village in Queensland, was brimming with the possibility of love as country couples danced their cares away two years after the end of WWII. "The festivities were kept moving until the 'wee sma' hours'," local newspaper the Pittsworth Sentinel chirpily reported of that spring evening in 1947. Seven decades later B&S balls couldn't be more different, often relishing in a reputation for being wild and sometimes sordid nights. People camping out at a recent ball in western NSW had to be warned not to start fires, bring couches, backfire their engines, drink drive, let off fireworks or even tote weapons. Amid that dire dearth of romance, agriculture student, former horse trainer and budding entrepreneur Mia Ryan is determined to bring real love back to the bush. The 23-year-old launched the Howdy dating app in March 2024 to help Australian farmers connect, having heard too many stories about loneliness and isolation gripping people on the land. By early 2025, demand was so great Ms Ryan opened the app to anyone living in a rural area. With 18,500 downloads, users have sent her tales of first dates in tractor cabs during harvest, cross-country road trips to connect and, more recently, engagements. "I got a pregnancy ultrasound photo the other day from a couple; she was from Victoria and he was from South Australia," Ms Ryan told AAP. "They're both from farming families." While country people once had a small pool of potential paramours to choose from, the app has allowed love to find its way from the WA wheatbelt across the outback to the NSW hinterland. About 80 per cent of the couples who have bonded on the app live more than 500km apart. "There's a lot of small towns dying in rural areas across Australia - so many towns where shops in the main street aren't open anymore," Ms Ryan said. "Big industries used to bring outsiders into communities and you'd meet someone new but that's happening less and less and a lot of farms are getting taken over by big pastoral companies. "That all contributes to the dynamics, which are really changing." Howdy is set to host its first in-person event Boots and Bubbles in August, with singles coming to mingle in Orange, central western NSW, from as far as WA, Tasmania, Queensland and South Australia. Ms Ryan has designed the event in the same spirit as the app, which encourages users to consider meaningful connections rather than quickly judging people on first impressions. The focus of the event won't be booze-fuelled hook-ups but a night of learning about healthy relationships from dating podcaster Nick Slater, meeting other single people and experiencing local food, wine and music. "I am trying to break the dating culture that we're all pretty used to by actually giving people a go," Ms Ryan said. "On the app, it's just normal people - they might be in the tractor or with their dog or on a horse. "It goes back to basics."
