Your Perfect Pairs

For your first tasting you will receive three delicious bites all paired with a beer chosen by the team at Shy John Brewery. You will enjoy a range of ale, lager and wheat beer.

Try taking a bite and then a sip to see how they complement each other.

Your lovely bartender for the evening will talk you through the beers that have been chosen for you in more detail, and why they complement your dishes.

A CLASSIC BEGINNING

Signature Prawn Dumplings

Your first food tasting will be Signature Prawn Dumplings, with organic tamari and chilli spices. Don't underestimate them – it's a smoky, sweet, sour, spicy and salty explosion of flavours in the mouth!

Grape Distance Sauvignon Ale

This has been paired with Grape Distance Sauvignon Ale, a winner at the World Beer Awards! This brew is fermented with both ale & wine yeasts and is brimming with pomelo, grapefruit & citrus flavours.

UNDER THE SEA

Seafood Net Spring Rolls

Next up you have Seafood Net Spring Rolls. Filled with crab, squid, shrimp, water chestnut, onion, sugar, garlic and soy oil … what else can you taste?

+

Spring Breeze Lager

This has been paired with a Spring Breeze Lager. This is a floral and crisp lager; nice and light on the palate. 

COCO BONGO!

Coconut Prawn Tempura

Your final tasting will be a Coconut Prawn Tempura. The coconut adds a little extra flavor and crunch to a basic shrimp tempura recipe. What do you think?

+

Forbidden Potion Black Rice Red Ale

This has been paired with the Forbidden Potion Black Rice Red Ale. This is a special edition brew created with malt & black rice creating a pronounced nutty flavour and dark red hue.

This concludes your tasting at Shy John Brewery and Yum Cha.

Thanks for stopping by!

Are you ready to move on?

Make your way outside and walk south-east on William St towards Wellington Street.

After 700 metres turn right onto St Georges Terrace.

Continue straight for about 130 meters, and when you find yourself surrounded by buildings and thinking that you are lost, voila you’re in the right place!

Look for the underground stairs and find W Churchill’s on your right.

Get ready for a deep dive under the city!
