EAT: SMOKE BEER AND WHISKY @ DOCK 18, DOCKLANDS
From the months of October through to the end of January, Dock 18 are celebrating the flavours of local brewery Temple Brewing and whisky distillery Starward Whisky with their Smoke, Beer and Whisky menu. The menu features several drinks and dishes that hero products from Temple Brewing and Starward Whisky among other favourites. Created fittingly just for the occasion is Temple Brewing’s limited edition smoked beer which can be ordered as a taster. There’s something about being served in an adorable-sized pint that makes the beer more palatable (can you tell I’m not the biggest beer fan?) not to mention the unique smoky characteristic. Menu items can be ordered a la carte style or as part of the full SBW package ($85pp for a small plate with smoked beer, large plate with an additional side, dessert and two SBW cocktails). As an added bonus, visitors who share their #SBWJourney have a chance of winning the ultimate weekend for two - visit the Dock 18 website for more details.
