Carwyn Cellars 15th Birthday!

We are celebrating 15 years of slingin’ suds, sourcing obscure and great booze, and hosting crazy events!

When: From 12 (noon), Saturday 26th of November
Where: 877 High Street, Thornbury VIC

Although the bar (or Backroom Bar as we initially called it) has been open since 2014, the bottle shop has been around for a lot longer! Even the location was different! A few of our regulars still remember the first shop located at 829a High Street back in 2007.

We’ve certainly evolved a lot since those days, but our passion for independent beer and good quality libations of all types has not stopped, we’ve probably grown even more passionate (and crazy) over time! And we want to celebrate this special occasion with you all. Come celebrate with us!

In true Carwyn style, expect the following:

  • Beer garden food pop-up, to have a good base in your belly
  • Wide spread of beer styles and breweries on tap with staff picks and cellar releases!
  • 2 for 1 Pints on selected local favs during the day!
  • Specials on selected spirits for the day
  • Special Birthday Collab beer release!
  • … And MORE!

15th Birthday Collab Beer: Fox Friday x Carwyn Cellars 'Time Traveller' DWCIPA

A big, old school, resinous and piney Double West Coast IPA with the whole gamut of ''C'' hops. Yep, this a certified banger and sure to please, with a late dry hop of Vic Secret give it an Aussie twist!

The Time Traveller is a homage to the old school American IPAs that made us fall in love with craft beer. When we realised that beer could be even MORE BITTER and MORE FLAVOURFUL. When it was rare to see anything past the 7% ABV mark without tasting like fusel alcohol. When our worlds were forever transformed.⁠

In the words of Fox Friday Head of Brewing Operations (and dear friend) Justin Corbitt:⁠

"The Time Traveller is truly that. An echo from times past when beers were bolder. An assertive bitterness balances perfectly with a rich malty body. A pithy citrus come on followed quickly by an intense pine with light floral notes reminiscent of the hops of yesteryear. A Clean yeast character keeps the hops in the spotlight. This is THE classic west coast!"⁠
