Five Bar and Josie Bones are going head to head again in a 3 course bout for state pride - who will be the victor WA or Victoria in this culinary and craft beer showdown.

Home brewers of the Great South West... Pack up the home brew kit, load it into the car and head down to the Co-lonial Brewing Company on Friday the 15th of November for our inaugural Beer Project Car Park Brew. Kicking off about 11am. We invite you to set up your home brew system in the brewery car park and put down a brew amongst the company of others.

The aim is for a collection of like minded individuals to meet each other, share tips and techniques in home brewing and have a relaxing day doing what we all love to do, making beer!

Hopefully we are all done before the day-light fades so we can move into the bar and enjoy our late night supper club.

They would line the skulls up across a granite table and throw expensive gems to see who had the best hand eye co-ordination and decide who would receive warrior bragging rights. Many centuries later, warriors still face each other down across a table in beer pong battles harking back to the days of old.

4 Pines Brewing Company will host the inaugural WA Beer Week 4 Pines Craft Beer Pong Challenge.

Teams will be pitted against each other on the night to see which team is the ultimate Craft Beer Pong Champion. To keep the everyone pumped as they tumble in defeat or shower themselves in glory,
