🦄 Mini Dark Beer Festival – The Unicorn Edition 🦄

Some beers are rare.
Some beers are extinct.

We’ve managed to get our hands on a stash of dark beers from the legendary Deeds Brewing. With the brewery gone, these beers are now true unicorns in the craft beer world.

Joining them are a pair of incredible dark beers from One Drop, plus a few other hand-picked heavy hitters to round out a lineup of 7 dark beers worthy of winter.

When they’re gone, they’re gone. No rebrews. No restocks. No second chances.

Friday July 3 at White Lies Brewing.

One of the most anticipated weekend’s of the year is back (or is that black). Celebrating the shortest daylight hours of the year with the darkest of dark from the Bacchus Cellars. 20+ taps (ALL ON NITRO POUR) all dedicated to the Darkside – Some brand new releases, plus many of your favourites.

Only three weeks left until the 14th-ish Weekend of Darkness, (possibly) Southeast Queensland’s longest-running dark beer festival (maybe). Approximately 30 dark beers over precisely three days at the Scratch Bar, Milton with food in collaboration with our friends from @riserbread and @oi.mongrel. We’ll be releasing the brewery list and schedule but, speaking objectively, it’s looking shit hot so far.

Darkness art as always by the incredible @tillmanilli, shirts available on a first-come, first-served basis over the bar during the festival.

We would love to invite you to be part of a very special event this July as part of Stony Creek Brewing’s 2nd Birthday celebrations.

After a year of waiting, it is finally time to bottle our legendary 16% Barley Wine.

Our Ale Alliance Members will be taking over the bottling line for the day, helping with waxing bottles, applying labels, and getting this incredible beer ready for release. With hot wax, glass bottles, labels, and a 16% Barley Wine involved, what could possibly go wrong?

Everyone is welcome to attend. Come along, watch the bottling process in action, enjoy the atmosphere, and secure a bottle to take home as a keepsake.

This beer has a very special story behind it. During the event, Jack Anderson will share the journey of how this beer came to be, the people involved, and why it means so much to our brewery community.

More than anything, this day is about bringing people together. It is about community, friendship, stories, and celebrating the moments and people that leave a lasting mark on our lives.

We hope you can join us, share a few stories, and help make this a truly memorable occasion.

It is back. The biggest, wildest, and most yeast-driven week on our calendar returns. Belgian Beer Week is taking over Saccharomyces from July 20 to July 26, turning the lane into a shrine of liquid history, malt magic, and beautiful funk.

Belgian brewing is unlike anything else on earth. It is a world of historic abbey beers, spontaneous open-air fermentation, rustic farmhouse pales, and complex fruit sours that blur the line between beer and fine wine. We are celebrating those centuries of tradition the only way we know how: with an unrelenting line up of rare imports, vintage bottles, and a full Flemish kitchen takeover.

Here is a brief summary of the week. More details will be released as separate event pages.

Monday, July 20: BELGE WEEK BEGINS
We are kicking off the festivities by unloading a stellar line up of classic imported Belgian brews and launching our hearty kitchen specials, available all week long. Pull up a pew and pair your first chalice with authentic, beer-soaked comfort food.

From the Kitchen
🦆Duck Carbonade Flamande: A decadent twist on Belgium’s most famous beer-and-onion stew. Confit duck, slow-cooked with caramelized onions and a dark abbey ale, served with fries. $35 (includes a 330ml Madocke Special Belge).
🍖Stoofvlees: Rich, comforting beef braised in dark Belgian beer with caramelized onions, carrots, and a signature sweet-and-sour kick of mustard and brown sugar. $35 (includes a 330ml Madocke Special Belge).
🧆Belgian Boulet: A Belgian household staple. Massive, savory meatballs swimming in a rich, velvety beer gravy. $25 (includes a 330ml Madocke Special Belge).

🍻From the taps: Leroy Breweries Sas Pils, Saison Dupont, Bavik Super Wit, Chimay Doree, Delirium Tremens, Gulden Draak Classic, Lindemans Kriek, Rodenbach Grand Cru

Tuesday, July 21: BELGIAN NATIONAL DAY – BIGGER BETTER BELGE!
National Day is the ultimate excuse for Belgian Beer Week, so this year we are going absolutely massive. We are popping open giant magnums of world-class beer from Chimay, Dupont, St Bernardus, and Corsendonk, while the kitchen super-sizes Belgium’s national dish.

The Main Event:
🥩Short-Handle Tomahawk and Bottomless Frites: A premium, ultra-tender 750g raw-weight Roam Wagyu Beef Rib Tomahawk cooked to perfection and served with a bottomless classic frites. $100.
Note: A steak of this size requires some hectic prep. To ensure you can get your monster steak in reasonable time, pre-purchase is required. Head to our booking platform to secure your mountain of meat ‘n potatoes. The link will be available from June 21.

🍻From the Taps: Leroy Sas Pils, Saison Dupont, Bavik Super Wit, Chimay Doree, Delirium Tremens, Gulden Draak Classic, Lindemans Kriek, Rodenbach Grand Cru

Wednesday, July 22: ST BERNARDUS VERTICAL TASTING
The ultimate playground for dark beer lovers and vintage cha
sers is back. The St Bernardus ABT 12 Vertical is a staple of our week, showcasing one of the most revered, complex Quadruples on the planet.
No tickets are required for this session. It is a completely self-guided tasting journey. We will have rare magnums of the 2013, 2014, and 2025 vintages behind the bar, available in custom tasting flights complete with comprehensive tasting notes. Witness how time tames the sweetness, deepens the dark fruit characteristics, and integrates the warming alcohol. Supply is strictly limited, so get down early.

🍻From the Taps: Leroy Sas Pils, Saison Dupont, Bavik Super Wit, Chimay Doree, Chimay Grand Cru, Gulden Draak Classic, Lindemans Kriek, Rodenbach Grand Cru
