Build a Better Beer List

Are you interested in building a better beer list for your restaurant? Or are you just interested in learning more about the art of beer and food matching? We have just the event for you.

Our intrepid Beer Guy James, in conjunction with VAMI and the Fed Square Microbreweries Showcase, will take you through a tasting of eight local microbrewed beers, discussing the details of each as well as suggested food pairings.

This Thursday 20th October from 3pm – 4:30pm, at BMW Edge, Federation Square, Melbourne.

Each participant will also receive a complimentary pass to the Microbreweries Showcase that evening.

For registration, please contact David Clarke (davidclarke@sommeliers.org.au) or Chris McNamara (chris.mcnamara@vami.org.au).

Josie Bones Wins!

Josie Bones has been awarded Australia’s Best Specialty Beer Venue in the Bartender Magazine Bar Awards for 2011. The competition was fierce so we were incredibly excited to win, especially considering we’re still in our infancy. We’d like to thank our fabulous team, particularly our tireless ‘Beer Guy’ James, for being as mad about beer as we are, and for all our customers for putting up with and going along with said madness.

Here’s to great beer!

Winter at Josie Bones

Josie Bones is embracing this glorious winter weather with some changes to our food menu. Settle in with a glass of something dark and roasty and one of our new menu additions – perhaps Cassoulet with confit duck shanks or 12 hour braised beef cheek or grilled duck hearts with cumquat and avocado salsa? Maybe mackerel escabeche, or brussel sprouts with pancetta and roasted chestnuts? And there’s always our ever-changing daily range of menu additions.

Beer Guy James Greenfield has been getting a wee bit over-excited at the breadth of beers available to us and has expanded our list to now be over 260-strong. In honour of this delightfully icy weather, it of course includes a growth in all things dark beer – what better way to escape the rain than to relax into a glass of something dark, toasty, roasty, malty, chocolatey and delicious.

Josie Bones’ new menu will be phased in from 1 July (our financial new year present to you) and will be entirely available very soon. Don’t stay in and hibernate, Josie Bones is waiting with a warm meal and a tasty beer.

Josie Bones is the place for great food and great beer.

We aim to give you a complete beer and food experience, from a range of ever-changing seasonal beers on tap and our large range of local and international bottled beer, to the matched food which will be seasonal, local, entire beast focused, cooked with beer where appropriate and tailor made for eating at our bar.

Josie Bones will hold beer and food matching events, beer tastings, brewer nights and regular beery feasts.
