In the perfect blend of collaboration and competition, eleven of your favourite breweries in Western Australia’s South West have divided into four teams to battle it out in the first official KETTLE ROYALE.

The brewing teams, picked at random, have been given an open brief to create a one-off collaboration festival brew that the Alliance will be launching at the South West Craft Beer Festival, in Signal Park, Busselton on Saturday February 25th.

Punters attending the Festival will have the chance to try all four brews on tap, and cast their vote for their favourite team. The winning brew and mystery brewing teams will be revealed after the votes are cast.

All proceeds from the sale of the KETTLE ROYALE brews at the Festival will help fund the South West Brewers Alliance (SWBA).

“The Alliance members, demonstrating a sincere approach to collaboration, with a fine balance of competition thrown in, have embraced the opportunity to partner in smaller groups, on beers which will be judged by the public at the South West Craft Beer festival.

This activity epitomises the spirit with which the Alliance has formed and continues to mature since inception 18 months ago. The creativity and ingenuity of the brewing community in the South West appears to know no bounds.” Keith Warrick, Chair, South West Brewers Alliance.

The South West Craft Beer Fest makes a welcome return to Busselton after sadly having to cancel last year due to the pandemic. The event features an incredible range of 150+ brews from 25 craft breweries and cideries as well as gourmet bites and live entertainment from some of the best live acts and DJ’s from the region.
