Beer & Food matching back on the menu in Perth

Mash Brewing in the Swan Valley are holding their 3rd Annual Beer Dinner on Friday 26th March at the West Swan Rd venue. Cost is $90 pp which includes a 5 course menu and beers included. Brewer Dan Turley has worked closely with Head Chef Melissa to present a fantastic menu matched to the breweries range of naturally brewed, award winning beers.

Back in the city, The Old Brewery on Mounts Bay Road have a couple of events over coming months, details from the venue below:

"Beer & Cheese Matching Evening
Thursday May 20th, 6:30-8:00pm, $45 per guest.
Join our brewer Mark Reilly, and Perth's biggest cheese guru, Nick Bath of Blue Cow Cheese Company (www.bluecow.com.au)for an evening of education, above all - but also fun. Guests receive a plate of six beers matched up to six cheeses, with both experts talking you through each round. The usual format is six cheeses with six tastes (please note, they are not full glasses) of the Brewery's different draught beers, plus one of two extras. It's an exclusive yet rather informal evening where you'll learn a lot, as each speaker talks about their beer and cheese match and welcomes any questions from the group (maximum of 25 people). The events are held like an open forum, with all guests sitting around the one large table. So if you’re an avid cheese and/or beer aficionado, join this very unique occasion to boost your wine and cheese knowledge, meet people and have a few laughs along the way…For bookings and enquiries, please contact Sage at the Brewery - Tel: 9211 8901, or email: functions@theoldbrewery.com.au
