Join us for a Very Super Special Best of Brisbane brewery tour on Thursday, 19 September. We’ll get our learning on at Soapbox Beer in Fortitude Valley, check out the lesser-known Fonzie Abbott in Albion, dine in style at Sea Legs Brewing in Kangaroo Point and finish with 21 choices (you get to select 5) at the infamous Bacchus Brewing situated all the way out in Capalaba.
Sounds pretty awesome, doesn’t it? But you gotta follow the super special link here to book your seat. We can’t wait!
Explore the breweries of New England, the birthplace of the hazy IPA, with Australian beer writer Mick Wust AKA Schoonerversity. It’s a beer adventure!Mick’s a beer writer, beerstagrammer, and all round good guy, and has put together a 9-day brewery trail covering four states to showcase some of the best breweries New England has to offer. Check out the breweries that pioneered the New England ‘haze craze’, including The Alchemist and Ratebeer’s ‘Best Brewer’ five years running, Hill Farmstead.
But even beer lovers need some variety—we’ll also explore local foods, go on scenic hikes in national parks, stay in a quaint waterfront town, visit a maple farm, and go to the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream factory for tastings. This small group tour will be a holiday like no other.
Limited spots available. Secure your spot at https://thecraftedtrail.rezgo.com/details/179729/schoonerversitys-new-england-brewery-trail
Pretty much all the information is at The Crafted Trail website, but here’s some more for ya…
________________
WHEN IS THE TOUR?
The tour departs from Boston on the morning of Tue 3rd September, and finishes in Boston on Wed 11th September.
WHAT WILL THE TOUR COST?
The cost is $2299 USD, which comes in under $3300 AUD.
WHAT DOES THE COST INCLUDE?
This includes round trip transport by air-conditioned tour van through four states in New England—from Boston in Massachusetts, through Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and returning to Boston; professional services of a CPR certified guide/driver; overnight accommodations for 8 nights in comfortable tourist-class hotels; breakfast every day; tour of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Factory; and all entrance fees to State and National parks. It doesn’t include food and drink, or optional extra activities, so you get to choose what you spend there, and won’t be paying to eat/drink stuff you don’t want to.
Jane at The Crafted Trail is an excellent tour operator, and people always have incredible things to say about her tours. She’s organised things wonderfully, and I’m so happy to have her take all of the burden away from travelling to all these great places. I hate having to organise holidays, and the stress of figuring out how to travel from brewery to brewery would be a nightmare for me… but Jane’s taken care of all of that!
HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL THERE BE?
Between 8 and 25 people. This is not something where you get lost in the crowd. It’s more the kind of tour where we hang out and get to know each other. (If you’re an introvert, don’t worry—there’s also plenty of time where you can wander off on your own and recharge. As keen as I am to hang out with people and chat about beers, I know I’ll be doing this sometimes!)
WHAT DOES “OPTIONAL SINGLE SUPPLEMENT” MEAN?
The rooms in the hotels are for 2 people. If you book as a couple, you’ll get a room together. If you book solo, you’ll be matched with a roommate (drinking buddy?) of the same gender. The Optional Single Supplement is only if you would prefer to pay extra to have a private room all to yourself.
WHAT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT SOMETHING?
Feel free to ask them here, or to email Jane at info@thecraftedtrail.com

There is a lot of talk that the rise of craft beer has seen beer become too complicated and the array of styles can be a little daunting for those discovering the world of beer. The Beer Book Club is a chance to get together and discuss the great works of beer and learn a little bit more about beer styles, history, techniques, flavours and ingredients.Join us for the May edition as we delve into a historic farmhouse ale variant, the saison.
Centuries ago, life on the farm possessed few luxuries outside of a warm fire and a tankard of house-brewed ale. Originating from Belgium and concocted with what was ‘on hand’, Bière de Saison (beer of season) was brewed in the cooler season and “laid down” until the warm growing season where it would serve as an important mainstay to quench the thirst of both farmer and his farm working saisonniers.
In recent times, this historic farmhouse ale has found new life in the hands of today’s creative craft brewers, continually pushing the boundaries of the style with higher alcohol, wild yeasts, fruits, spices and barrel aging, effectively making the saison one of the most complex beers styles in terms of flavour characteristics. Sample six exceptional but distinctively different variants at this month’s Beer Book Club.
Ticket includes light dinner and samples of six excellent beers.
