About this Event
Liquid Gold: A Taste of WA Brewing History explores WA’s rough and tumble relationship with beer. From pre-colonial fermentation and the earliest homebrews to the mighty Swan Brewery taking on the world, the exhibition charts entrepreneurialism, activism, bitter rivalries and social change.
We'll be toasting the launch of Gilded Ale, a new brew developed by Otherside Brewing Co. Inspired by some of the earliest ales and brewing histories uncovered in the State Library’s collections, the beer is a contemporary interpretation of recipes from as early as 1913.
Hear from a panel of industry insiders and innovators in conversation about the rise of WA’s most famous brewing brands and dive into the next industry trends. The lineup:
- Phil Sexton, legendary brewer behind Australia's first micro-brewery Matilda Bay Brewing Company and co-founder Little Creatures
- Mick Little, co-founder of Spinifex, a part Aboriginal and veteran-owned WA brewery
- Michael Payne, of Lighting Minds non-alcoholic beer
- Mark Braddock, co-founder Block Branding and the designer behind some of WA's most iconic brands including Feral Brewing Company
- Pia Poynton, of Otherside Brewing Co. and certified beer expert and judge
- Julian Tompkin, travel writer, lifestyle journalist and our host for the evening.
