Today's event runs from 5.30pm-7pm and highlights the synergy of beer and chocolate. So if your'e working in Perth today, hang around in town a bit later and head on down to Mill St (just off St Georges Terrace) and help celebrate all that is great and good about beer in the west.

Keep an eye on the blog later in the day where we continue our celebration of Western Australian brewing when we will post day 4 of our 'cooking with beer' series. So please pop back to see whats happening and if you can, try and get out & about to support your local brewers.
