First Firkin Friday: The first Friday happy hour each month Experience the ceremony as a small keg (firkin) of fresh ale is paraded through the pub lead by a piper. A volunteer is selected to drive a tap into the firkin with a handmade wooden maul affectionately named, "The Firkin Wakker". Incredible beer flavour unlike anything else. The volunteer tapper and the spectators within a 20 foot radius are soaked with squirting beer. Will you be the next person chosen to tap the First Friday Firkin? 5:30pm |

Science Pub: The third Thursday of every month at 7:00 PM One manifestation of the new cool image of science is the emergence of the science pub; lectures on scientific topics of general interest, in a pub setting, over beer and snacks.

| Blackberry Mead Release - the first Saturday of each December (December 1, 2012) We spend all year making this Lumsden Valley honey nectar infused with juicy blackberries. Something this special takes quite a bit of time to ferment and mature. The result is an exotic elixir unlike any other. Folks begin lining up around 4:00 in the morning. Some bring lawn chairs, some bring patio heaters, some bring sleeping bags, some bring heated tents, some even bring BBQs and make bacon and eggs! Bushwakker head brewer, Mitch Dalrymple always brings out cups of hot chocolate to those in line. We open our doors at 11:00 AM and in a couple hours over 6000 bottles are snapped up by the legion of devoted Bushwakker Blackberry Mead fans. The supply of mead on tap usually lasts around two weeks if we're lucky. This date marks the true kick-off to the Bushwakker holiday season. Mead season is here...but not for long! |

Come and listen and then join in for the sing-a-long that follows. It's the best way to get into the spirit of the season! The evening's highlight is a performance of the Boar's Head Carol where an massive boar's head is paraded around the pub by our devoted kitchen team.
