Including a Roasted Carrot Hazy IPA, a Jamaican Jerk Seasoned Beer, a Smoked Belgian Tripel and a Bourbon Barrel Aged Maraschino Cherry and Coconut Beer and a Steak and Kidney Pint.

All of the 10+ beers being served will be brand new creations, specifically brewed for Beer Jerk and not available anywhere else. The beers will all feature either a unique ingredient, wild fermentation or strange process and will feature ingredients like Kale, Worms, Carrot, Parsnip and Steak.

Food will be available from Food Truck Serial Griller who are working in secret on a Weird Burger for the day.
