Brush up on your brew knowledge when Matt Kirkegaard launches the Beer Book Club

The Beer Book Club is a brand-new event focused on education and appreciation – just, y’know, minus the whole reading part. more

The powers that be are bringing Beer InCider back to town for another round before it pops up again later in the year – and frankly, we’re frothing. more

Ah, the humble margarita – what’s not to love? The classic Mexican concoction consisting of tequila, lime and triple sec is an absolute staple of any decent cocktail list.

Ruggers, pluggers and snags – where to celebrate the Australia Day long weekend

24 Jan 2019

We’re just going to put it right out there to diffuse the tension – whilst Australia has a lot of rad qualities, it still has a heck of a long way to go when it comes to respecting the traditional owners of the land. Here at The Weekend Edition we are firmly for changing the date of Australia Day to something that every Australian can enjoy (May 8, anyone?), bringing us together in a celebration of the mateship, unity and multiculturalism that make our country great. It’s great to see these conversations in place and hopefully in the not too distant future these changes will occur, but until then there are plenty of cool events that you can take advantage of on the Australia Day long weekend to celebrate all of the things that make Australia such a fantastic place to live – just remember to take a moment to reflect on the significance of this date for Aboriginal Australians. more
