More than 150 brews on offer at WA beer event this weekend
The South West Craft Beer Festival is set to descend on Yallingup this weekend with the 'strongest line-up of award winners ever assembled'. The beer festival, returning for its thirteenth year on Saturday, aims to pair 'the best waves and brews' with a surfing theme inspired by the Margaret River Pro — which is running over the same weekend. A selection of more than 150 beers will be on offer, from local breweries such as Eagle Bay Brewing Co, Bush Shack Brewery, Cowaramup Brewing Company, CBCo and new editions to the festival — Bailey Brewing Co. The owners of the Bailey Brewing Co — Geoff Bailey and his sons Steve and Dan — opened their Dunsborough branch in June last year, hoping to 'bring a touch of Swan Valley to the South West'. Head brewer Damien Bussemaker said they were excited to join the festival for the first time, despite not yet producing beer out of the region. 'We don't have a brewery, we don't produce any beverages down there, but we we are part of the community,' he said. 'I've met most of the people from the other breweries before, but it's going to be good to see them in their natural habitat.'

Festival director Jason Dover said the event would feature a formidable list of award-winning South West brewers. 'We wanted to take the festival in a new direction in 2025 and leading into the weekend we couldn't be more excited for not only our new venue at Aravina Estate which is simply picturesque, but also for the incredible line-up of beer and food, which we are confident will make this our best event ever,' he said. The festival will run from 10.30am to 5.30pm at Aravina Estate with tickets still available on the South West Craft Beer Festival website.

The local tinnie that's a tip of the hat to our Kiwi mates
Choice Brew NZ IPA Bailey Brewing Co Bailey Brewing Co have been quietly building up their repertoire since opening in the Swan Valley a few years ago. The family-friendly venue does a raging trade on weekends, and while their core range has become a staple in bottle shops across Perth, their limited releases are ones to watch out for. The Choice Brew NZ IPA (see what they did there?) is one all discerning craft beer drinkers should add to their never-ending list of tinnies to crack. The beer is a clever tip of the hat to our cross-Tasman neighbours — both in style and in name. Bailey Brewing Co's Choice Brew NZ IPA pours a golden amber hue with the slightest hint of haze. Credit: PerthNow It pours a golden amber hue with the slightest hint of haze and a white creamy head. On the nose you'll find some particularly sweet tropical aromas. Think mango, apricot and melon — and maybe even with the slightest amount of caramel. But don't be fooled by the sweet aromas — this hop-laden tinnie (Nectron, Superdelic, and Motueka) is dank and bitter in the best way. The sweet flavours take a back seat on the palate, with a heap of citrus, and plenty of dankness creating a flavour profile which is quite bitter. Yet somehow this beer is smooth and balanced enough to fall short of feeling heavy and cumbersome. Share it with your Kiwi mates — and maybe pair it with a nice serving of 'fush and chups' while you're at it. $23 for a four-pack
