TINNIES THROUGH TIME - A CELEBRATION OF AUSTRALIAN BEER
"Tinnies through Time" is a celebration of Australian beers and breweries, from the giants of Swan and Carlton United to the little known local brews. This exhibition has been developed with the assistance of Coopers, Carlton United and Swan breweries, who have provided a number of rare historical images and vintage beer bottles and tinnies for display.
The exhibition will feature the trails faced by the country’s earliest brewers, the development of the nation’s best-loved beers and the various attempts to encourage or prohibit the sale of beer in hotels across Australia.
All Skill Levels welcome. Registration is free. Pre-registration via HQ website is encouraged, especially for children under 16 who require parental consent. Helmets must be worn during competition.
