Cheers to Bended

For those familiar with The Drew Carey Show, you may remember that Drew and his mates created Buzz Beer, a concoction of beer and coffee. Now, Southern Bay Brewing Co lead brewer Steve Walker has collaborated with Coffee ­Cartel’s Nathan Johnston to create a local buzz beer, Mr BIGS. Using Guji coffee from Ethiopia, the stout taps into a fickle industry. “The idea was to do a small release, which allowed us to be able to experiment and be very creative,” says Mr Walker. “Drinkers no longer have such a loyalty to a particular brand … They are keen to try something new and we like to keep the creative aspect going and give them interesting things to try.” A local launch takes place at the Bended Hotel, Geelong on July 17. Cheers!
