  BOILERMAKER  NIGHT

Join us for an incredible evening as we join forces with Willie the Boatman for a sensory journey honouring the great boilermaker tradition of pairing a Rum with a crisp, cool beer after a hard days work.

This night will be incredibly special, featuring a limited-release Willie the Boatman Beer aged in our Brix Australian Rum barrels.

--

Stories are murky as to how the boilermaker first came into existence, but it’s pretty clear it was originally consumed by blue collar workers at the end of a long shift. 

 

It’s believed the drink takes its name from the workers who built and maintained steam locomotives in the 1800s. These workers were known to head to the bar at the end of a shift, take a shot of whisky followed by a crisp, cool beer. It quickly became a staple for boilermakers after a hard day.

 

Our boilermaker specials run all month, but the perfect pairings culminate in one night of fun & frivolity.

 

Tickets are limited, so alert your Boilermaker loving crew and secure your spots fast.

ABOUT THE
BOILERMAKER

Willie the Boatman was founded in 2012 by a fat dad in his garage who found a love for the art of brewing. Now 12 years down the track, Willie creates beers as diverse and dynamic as the community they serve. 

 

Nestled in the beating heart of the inner west suburb of St. Peter’s, their brewery is a homage to the legendary figure of Willie, a boatman and Irish convict who was sentenced to Australia and made a life for himself in the burgeoning colony.

 

Folklore has it that Willie is buried just off the Princes Highway within walking distance from the brewery's St. Peter's taproom.
