🏛️ History lesson? Absolutely.

🍺 History-themed beer? Now we're listening.

During Galvanized, Ipswich's chefs, brewers, distillers and publicans are serving up a delicious taste of the past. Think heritage-inspired cocktails, nostalgic sweet treats, slow-cooked classics, local brews with a story and flavours that have stood the test of time.

Fair warning: you may leave with an overwhelming urge to tell everyone the fascinating thing you just learned... and where you ate it. 😉

Pictured: Firni at Indian Mehfil - Ipswich Queensland, 1842 Founders Cocktail at The Prince Alfred Hotel, Darling Downs Angus beef short rib pie at Jets Leagues Club, Limestone Lager at Stony Creek Brewing Ipswich, red wine and mushroom lamb shanks at Walloon Hotel, The Honey Glow at Sip & Banter Distillery, old-fashioned iced tea and carrot cake at Soul Nook.
