Fed Square Cider Garden Back by Popular Demand

If you’re looking for what’s on in March, check out the Fed Square Cider Garden in Melbourne.

Melbourne’s cider lovers will descend on Federation Square for a garden of locally-made boutique brews at the Fed Square Microbreweries Showcase, Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 March 2012.

The Cider Garden, sponsored by Yarra Valley cider crafters Napoleone & Co, will feature newcomers Leura Park Estate with their Flying Duck Cider, Rebelllo Wine’s Cheeky Rascal Cider, Beechworth Cider, White Rabbit Brewery and many more.

The bi-annual Fed Square Microbreweries Showcase brings some of Victoria’s finest craft beer to Federation Square where guests can meet the brewers, sample the new tastes and learn more about the brewing process.

Showcase favourites Grand Ridge Brewing from Gippsland will return, as well as the Mornington Peninsula Brewery, Bridge Road Brewers and Bright Brewery. Joining them will be metro brewers Cavalier Beer and Hawthorn Brewing Company. A highlight will be new flavours from King Valley Brewing’s Yowie Lager.

Ticket-holders receive 20 x 60ml tastings as well as treats from participating Fed Square restaurants. Tickets can be purchased online from Ticketmaster for $25, plus a booking fee. Guests are encouraged to pre-purchase their tickets because only a limited number will be available at the door.
