IT IS DECIDED.

Come to the Catfish this Saturday September 26th to watch the epic grand final match up of the Freo Dockers vs the Brisbane Lions.

Can the Dockers break through for their first premiership? Or will the Lions get their second threepeat?

We might be a bar in Fitzroy (and as a result we do have a big soft spot for Fitzroy/Brisbane) but we welcome everyone to come and enjoy the game with us no matter which colours you wear.

We're open from midday and first bounce is at 2:30pm.

CARN' FOOTY.

COMING TO WATCH THE WAH'S ON SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 20TH AT 4:05PM?

The 'Fresh September' hazy ipa 7% (new b**r), the 'Pernicious W**d' IPA 8% (an old fave), and the 'Bent Penny' American pale 5% (new b**r), will all be flowing freely like Dalin Watene Zelezniak's mullet in the wind as he gallops to the try line.

WE GO AGAIN WAH'S FANS!

The glass half empty attitude is that week one of finals didn't go to plan.

The glass half full attitude is that we all get to hang out at The Catfish again this Sunday the 20th of September at 4:05pm when the mighty One NZ Warriors take on the Newcastle Knights.

In a pairing for the ages, Sparrow's Philly Cheesesteaks are slinging Philadelphia's finest alongside an expanded roster of Kiwi b**rs from Garage Project to watch the Kiwi rugba league.

These awesome (and in some cases brand new) brews are:
Fresh September - hazy ipa 7% (new b**r)
Pernicious w**d - IIPA 8%
Bent Penny - American pale 5% (new b**r)
