The Peel region is becoming a prime location to drink some excellent beers after local brewers were recognised at the Perth Royal Beer Awards last week. King Road Brewing in Oldbury took out multiple awards, including WA champion small brewery, and gold medals for its American Pale Ale, India Pale Ale packaged and King Road IPA. 'We didn't just show up … we cleaned up,' the venue posted on social media. 'We're stoked to be crowned champion small brewery once again. Huge cheers to our brew team — legends behind the tanks — and to everyone who supports local craft beer. These trophies belong to all of you too.' Baldivis' White Lakes Brewing was named WA champion medium brewery, and gold for its Dingo Mid and 100 Day Pilsener. 'We are absolutely over the moon and super proud of our crew who make it feel like working alongside your best mates on the daily!' the team wrote on Facebook. Mandurah's Boundary Island Brewery took out gold with its Rauchbier and Cheeky Monkey, which has venues in Rockingham and Vasse, was awarded for its Conan Irish Red. Commerce Minister Dan Caddy said WA had more than 120 breweries, representing 20 per cent of Australia's craft beer industry. 'This growth is a testament to our State's innovation and to WA's growing reputation around the world for delivering products of outstanding quality,' he said. Royal Agricultural Society of WA president John Snowball congratulated the winners, saying: 'What sets the Perth Royal Beer Awards apart is our commitment to quality and judging integrity'. 'I acknowledge every brewer who submitted their beers for judging this year. 'It takes courage, passion, and pride in your craft to put your work forward.'

Food Picks: A celebration of spring and summer produce in Italian restaurant Somma's new menu
Italian restaurant Somma looks to keep the momentum with its first menu change for what it calls its Solterra season. PHOTO: SOMMA Food Picks: A celebration of spring and summer produce in Italian restaurant Somma's new menu SINGAPORE – After opening to much fanfare in September 2024 at lifestyle cluster New Bahru, Italian restaurant Somma looks to keep the momentum with its first menu change for what it calls its Solterra season. Sol refers to the sun, while terra means earth. The intricate dishes celebrate spring and summer produce, and I find myself enjoying severa l vegetable elements across the menu ($268++ for six courses). There is a four-course Saturday lunch at $168++ too. As always, the meal starts with a couple of welcome snacks – this time presenting the artichoke in two ways. First, it is served as a warm broth from a 'flask' made of artichoke, followed by farinata (chickpea pancake) topped with crisp mammole artichoke and house-aged perch lardo spiced with fennel and black cardamom. The first course showcases grilled fava beans studded with pickled pine nuts and drizzled with burnt lemon thyme-infused tomato water, and a delicate elderflower dressing. Served with this is an 'asparago zebrato', named so for the striped glaze on the white asparagus. The glaze is made with soya beans, oolong tea and asparagus water, while the stripes are made of black shallots infused with lapsang souchong tea. Highlighting the sea is a plump mussel and grilled razor clams dish, followed by the return of my favourite carrot spaghettone with sea snails and a rich mantis shrimp bisque. Somma's mussels and grilled razor clams dish. PHOTO: SOMMA But while the meat main of grilled milk-fed lamb is finger-licking good, it is the 'peasant salad' that is truly memorable. It features a medley of 26 seasonal ingredients – from fresh, grilled and dried flowers and vegetables to delicate leaves – seamlessly tied together with a dressing of oregano, whisky vinegar and blueberries. If anyone can get me to eat and truly appreciate my vegetables, it is Somma's Puglian chef-partner Mirko Febbrile. A millefoglie of layered lamb tongue slow-cooked in mead and aged lamb heart grated over the plate round off the dish. Loquats star in the refreshing pre-dessert plated within a large ice cube. Yogurt and almond kernel panna cotta is wrapped in a delicate mochi skin, then topped with a chilled broth of lacto-fermented loquats, ginger, eucalyptus honey and osmanthus sorbet. To finish, the main dessert highlights three types of corn – South American purple corn, Italian yellow corn and Hokkaido white corn – made into paper-thin wafers and paired with American Pale Ale ice cream and brown butter.
