A gold coin charity donation will get you into The Best of GABS 2012 event scheduled for the Local Taphouse in Darlington on June 2. There will be 20 beers of the 58 beers that made it to the taps at the Great Australasian Beer SpecTAPular in Melbourne during Good Beer Week. These beers haven’t been made before and probably won’t be made again – so it’s the last chance for Sydneysiders to get a piece of the action.
