WHAT. A. GAME. WHAT. A. CROWD. 🏉🍻🐑
And it’s STILL NOT OVER! Coming right down to the final minutes and the Sheep is absolutely heaving.
Couldn’t have wished for a better Grand Final day. Packed bar, cracking atmosphere, plenty of b**rs flowing and everyone having an absolute ripper of a time.
A massive THANK YOU to Two Brothers Brewing and Domain W**e Cellars for supplying the drinks today. Legends. 🍺🍷
And an even bigger thanks to everyone who packed into The Black Sheep and made today what it was.
Whatever happens from here… this has been one hell of a Grand Final Day.

🍷 PUBLIC HOLIDAY = RECOVERY DAY 🍷
After a VERY big day on the 2nd Annual Black Sheep W**e Tour yesterday, we’ve made the executive decision to take the public holiday off today. 😂
The Sheep needs a little lie down. 🐑💤
But we’ll be BACK TOMORROW for the AFL GRAND FINAL! 🏆🏉
🚪 Doors open 12pm
🎟️ $60 if you book your ticket TODAY
💰 $80 on the day
Get yourself booked, grab a spot and settle in for the biggest game of the year.
And while we’re supposed to remain impartial behind the bar…
🦁 GO BRISBANE! 🦁
See you tomorrow 🍺🏉🐑

🍷🐑 THE SECOND ANNUAL BLACK SHEEP W**E TOUR IS IN EFFECT! 🐑🍷
And just quietly… these are three of the best-looking beards you’re ever gonna see. 🧔🍷🔥
The flock is loose and we’re heading for the vines! 🚌💨🍇
Today’s highly important viticultural research takes us to:
🍷 Tegalent
🍇 Tallarida
🍺 St Andrew’s Beach Brewing
🥂 Port Phillip Estate W**ery
Big reds, crisp whites, cold b**rs and increasingly creative tasting notes as the day rolls on. 🍒🍑🍓🍇
We’re swirling. We’re sniffing. We’re sipping. And by stop number four, everything will have “excellent mouthfeel” and somebody will be detecting hints of leather, blackberry and poor decision-making. 😂
Second Annual Black Sheep W**e Tour 2026.
Supporting Victorian producers one glass at a time. Tough job, but the beards are up to it. 🐑🍷

🍺 TWO FRESH BEERS JUST HIT THE TAPS! 🍺
We’ve gone big, bold and hoppy with a couple of cracking Victorian brews:
🐄 Bonehead Brewing – Creamy As! NZ Oat Cream IPA | 6.5%
Soft, creamy, juicy and loaded with NZ hop goodness. Dangerously easy drinking for 6.5%.
🏜️ Banks Brewing – Big Country West Coast IPA | 6.5%
Proper West Coast territory. Hoppy, punchy and crisp with that classic bitter finish. No haze required.
Two IPAs. Both 6.5%. Two very different beasts.
Fresh on tap NOW at The Black Sheep Hawthorn. 🍻🐑

🍷 NEW W**E JUST LANDED
Fresh delivery today and straight onto the list at The Black Sheep.
Tellurian Estate EVO Shiraz 2024
Heathcote Shiraz doing what Heathcote does best. Rich dark fruit, plum and blackberry, a touch of spice and pepper, with lovely soft tannins. Big enough to have some swagger, but smooth enough to disappear from the glass rather quickly.
🍷 $16 a glass
🍾 $58 a bottle
We’ve given it the appropriate quality-control test. Can confirm: bloody delicious.
Come in, grab a glass and tell us what you reckon.

The Silverback Trio are taking over the Sheep this Friday night!
A brilliant three-piece jazz outfit, and you might’ve caught them doing their thing down at the Portland Jazz Festival. Now they’re bringing it to Hawthorn for two hours of live jazz, cold Victorian b**rs and Friday-night goodness.
🎶 The Silverback Trio
📅 Friday night
⏰ 7pm–9pm
🍕 Pizzas available all night
🍺 Independent Victorian b**r pouring
Grab a table, order a pizza, settle in with a pint and enjoy some proper live jazz. No cover charge, just get around them.

When your friends become family, birthdays deserve a little extra sparkle. 🥂🦪❤️
A very Happy Birthday to Christine, one of the Black Sheep family and one of our absolute favourites.
So how do you celebrate properly? Oysters, bubbles, great friends and plenty of laughs. Not a bad way to spend a birthday afternoon!
Happy Birthday, Christine. Here’s to another lap around the sun and many more oysters along the way. 🥳🥂
From your Black Sheep family

🍺 KEG CLEAR-OUT! $12 PINTS UNTIL THEY’RE GONE! 🍺
These two have been hanging around the taps a little too long, and we’ve got fresh, exciting Victorian b**rs waiting in the wings. So it’s time to drink ’em dry.
🍫 Bells Beach Brewing Chicama Choc Stout | 6.3%
🌴 Bridge Road Brewers Amateur Hour West Coast IPA | 6.1%
$12 PINTS. UNTIL THE KEGS BLOW.
⚠️ Fair warning: both are 6%+, so they might be $12 pints, but they’re definitely not session la**rs. 😂
Come help us empty the kegs so we can put something shiny and new on tap.
Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
