Forget cheese and wine - cheese and beer is the proper pairing.
Geelong hospitality heroes, Blackman’s Brewery and Splatters Cheese Bar are joining forces for an epic stomach showstopper, the Beer & Cheese Festival. For a second-year running, independent family run and owned brewery, Blackman’s Brewery will combine their core cold beer range with the creamy and crumbly cheese range from the dedicated cheese bar, Splatters Cheese Bar in a celebration of the two godly tastebud pleasers.
Going down on Saturday 4 May at the Geelong location for Blackman’s Brewery, the festival will have you rolling out of the Grovedale doors.
