2014 Good Beer Week - Beer and the Beast, Royal Mail Hotel on Spencer St

Good Beer Week presents Beer and the Beast at Royal Mail Hotel on Spencer

Beer and the Beast is a hands-on event.

The Royal Mail on Spencer and Harvesters Brewing will take you back to primal times, before the supermarket.

We will break down a whole deer and put half on the spit for our dinner.

The other half will be turned into salami, prosciutto and bacon. Venison smallgood tastings will be part of the Beer and Beast experience.

While that’s going on we will mill brewer's grain into flour and add a hops-based sourdough starter to make our bread for the night.

And to top it off, we will be brewing a small batch beer on the night.
