Ok people: we know you love Fresh hazy monthly releases. We know you love new beers. We know you love pints. And you know what we love? We love you. So we have combined all the things you love into this monthly event that you're going to love even more: the Fresh Party!
On the first of every month we'll be tapping our brand new Fresh release for you to drink right here, in our cosy back room, with your pals, in a pint glass. This time around it is Fresh August, straight from the tanks. Not only that, but we'll also have on tap as many of our new releases from the previous few weeks as possible - pints of Fresh and the freshest pints around. We'll be doing a meatball sub special alongside: fresh, housemade meatballs with mozzarella cheese and rich tomato sauce in a crunchy baguette - a one-day-a-month deal. Grab a pint of Fresh and a meatball sub for $25!
The Fresh Party: the new greatest way to kick off any month, conversation or friendship. See you here!

Bland, Watery and Rarely Above 5% - Australian Beer Showcase

That’s why you won't find any one-off imports of rare, wonderful and interesting beers like that pouring at The Fridge & Flagon all day.
