The Art of Spooning
Sun 18th May 1-3pm, $20 +bf
Tasting and (metaphorical) cuddles with one of the most prolific collaborators of the Brewing world and Good Beer Wheaty Yeastie co-convenor, the Yeastie Boys’ Stu McKinlay.
In addition to discussing, drinking and demonstrating ‘The Art of Spooning’, Stu is swinging us a world exclusive, pre-release tasting of a clutch of collaborative brews close to our own Wheaty hearts: the Spoonbender Series.
“This term is a play on "spooning", our unique term for collaboration. We use this term to convey the fact that our collaborations tend to be more intimate than the usual."Spoonbender" itself comes from an old family insult that my father used when anyone had any sort of off-the-wall idea... and brewers collaborating with winemakers seemed a fitting example of this metaphorical bending of the spoon. What on earth will my Dad think[1]?
The Spoonbender series is a celebration of the strange things that happen when weird brewers meet even weirder folk[2] from other industries. In this inaugural Spoonbender series, the Yeastie Boys team up with renegade winemakers Some Young Punks to create beers built around some of the Punks’ aged botrytised Viognier. Rather than aging our beer inside their barrel, adding our beer into their wine environment, we’ve created a candi-sugar with their already fermented (and aged) wine to essentially add their wine into our brewing process…” Stu
