8 Wired are absolute weapons with sour beer and barrel-aging. Having spent the last 11 years building their love affair with oak, they have one of the Southern Hemisphere's largest barrel aging programmes.

Both wild fermentation and barrel-aging create exotic and unpredictable flavours. It's beer - but not as you know it. We're presenting the opportunity to come hold our hand as we take you through a few of the finest options - and how beer cocktails can partner these tart beauties.

On the menu:

A Fistful of Raspberries. A Belgian beauty aged in wine barrels and refermented with pureed raspberries. With an actual fistful of raspberries in every bottle, it's vibrant funky fruit fizzing in your gob. An exquisite delight.

Hendricks Lagar w/ Cucumber Hippy. We love Hendrick's gin. We love 8 Wired's Cucumber Hippy. We have formulated a fresh, crisp, and fruity beer cocktail that combines the two with cucumber, mint, and watermelon.

Basil Malty w/Mando A Mando. A pale sour beer that spent up to 2 years in barrel waiting, they've then refermented the beer with mandarins and dry hopped it with Mandarina Bavaria hops to create something truly complex, wild and juicy. We'll have this available to combine with a concoction of basil, rum, and lime.

Tour Des Flandres. The crowning glory to finish. This red ale spends 3 years developing rich complexity in large oak foeders while a collection of wild yeast and bacteria go to work. The resulting flavours are out of this world. Dry plum, red wine, prunes, to name a few notes. On the day, we'll provide the option to turn this into the 'Stupid Sexy Flandres' boilermaker for $10 extra.
