Hop over to a lush new brew garden this summer

They’ve got one rule down at Beer DeLuxe: beer is king. With this in mind, they’ve recently given their Federation Square location a princely facelift, adding a royal forest of botanicals to their beer garden. Here, you can spend sunny afternoons tasting paddles of their best brews and working your way through the hearty menu of one-hand munchers, pizza pies and meat-bread combos.

They've got more than 20 taps frothing the best brewed stuff and endless bottles from ambers to pale ales and wheat beers to barrel-aged Belgium styles. You could be in for a long, lazy afternoon getting to know Beer DeLuxe's beer bible under the shade of their sprightly young ferns and fresh new plant walls. Oh, and there’s also some tasty drops of vino, for those more inclined to a grape fermentation.

Got something worth celebrating? Gather the office crew or your best mates and raise a pint to the year that was in the garden, spread some Christmas cheer, or rejoice in a golden toast to the sunshine itself.

The brew masters at Beer DeLuxe will set you up with space for up to 20 party people, a $600 bar tab and $400 of piping hot pizzas and moreish grazing plates for their hop garden Christmas party package. Simply send a line to the events team to organise a happy beer celebration, right down to last-minute festive plans. If you’re a popular beer-lover and need something a little larger than the $1,000 package, this can also be happily arranged. The more beer, the merrier.
