Little Creatures (Australia) and Hitachino Nest (Japan) have come together to brew a collaborative IPA that brings together Japanese Sorachi Ace hops and Australian Melba hops to deliver a sessionable beer with a hop driven, fruity character that they have called Tsubasa IPA.
This very limited release brew is available at Little Creatures Brewers Lab for just one month starting from October 1. The Little Creatures kitchen is also turning Japanese with a new menu of Japanese beer-drinking snacks to pair with the beer.
Oct 1-31, all day. Little Creatures. See event listing.

If coming back from vacation has been rough, let Birds of Paradise cure what ails you. They've brought in one of Shanghai's most celebrated bartenders Cross Yu (Epic). The taste of the evening is paradise-friendly creations until midnight. We have our sights set on the spice gimlet featuring curry leaf infused Beefeater gin, homemade Falernum syrup and lime juice, but all four cocktails have the potential to make us go bananas.
Oct 10, 8pm-midnight. Birds of Paradise. See event listing.

Every Friday from 5-9pm, Heritage by Madison presents 'Friday Double Bubbles.' What does that mean? Well, it means that all Champagne orders – by the glass or bottle – are buy-one-get-one-free. That includes champagne cocktails (peach & ginger bellini, Aperol Spritz, French fizz) too. It's okay to mix and match cocktails; the lowest priced one is free. And if those bubbles whet your appetite, don't worry, Heritage has some of the best eats in town.
