WA Beer Week is getting really close, so close I am both terrified and excited.
Terrified because due to my working within the industry it’s a super busy time with some days where I have about an hour to get from one place to the next assuming all goes well. Excited because, well, HOT DAMN it’s WA Beer Week, baby!
It all kicks off on 7th November and runs until the 15th. Yes, keen date enthusiasts will note that it’s not actually one week, it’s nine days.
Nine days of glorious beer celebrations that will see stacks of great events held all over Perth and even a few in the south west.
