24.01.2022 If you missed the award-winning Lauren Henderson (@boomskully) sing the blues on Sunday, you have EVERY reason to be sorry. This brilliant chanteuse is the recent winner of the #NatJazzAward at the Wangaratta Festival of Jazz & Blues. Don't worry, we'll continue to ignite the sounds of the world with our Sunday music series, Sparkke the Summer. It's where we host South Australia's best artists playing music with influences from all over the world every afternoon on our Rooft...op. So - hey, it's over to you to show up, support local musicians, drink brews and kick back. Also, BTW congratulations to all the winners at tonight's @samusicawards - especially @playpauseplay for winning Best Innovation and @wingdefenceband for best punk (who also featured in our nominated live music series!) It's pretty damn humbling to be among some of our favourite local artists, events, brands and venues. Let the music play. #sparkkethesummer #sparkkeatthewhitmore

09.01.2022 Guess what, it’s a sell out! We’ve pre-sold all the kegs of @sparkkechange’s first official collab our Hazy IPA with Shapeshifter Brewing Company to some of our favourite pubs across town and, don’t worry, you’ll be able to enjoy this Hazy at the Whitmore. Given it’s a limited-edition brew, you’ll want to head down to our pub soon to enjoy this Hazy, which we’ve appropriately called, Pina Collaba. Why Pina Collaba? Well, with this collab brew’s dominant aromatic notes of... pineapple, coconut, summer stone fruit and vanilla, you’d almost mistake this Hazy IPA for a Pina Colada. Almost, as our Hazy isn’t as sweet as your auntie’s favourite cocktail from the 70s. It’s also juicier and is, of course, blissfully delicious. The Pina Collaba’s deep golden hue is reminiscent of a hazy summer sunset and the double dry-hopping with Citra and Kohatu gives dominant notes of pineapple and tropical flavours associated with the style. Gloriously juicy, it’s restrained in bitterness while its creamy mouthfeel balances out the brew nicely. You can thank rolled oats and a higher mash temp for its body while the addition of Verdant IPA yeast expresses the vanilla and apricot. The beer is topped off nicely with Sabro hops to give this juicy, big pineapple IPA a toasted coconut finish. Now you know what we mean when we say Pina Colada. Enjoy this when the weather warms up at our pub on Whitmore Square.

08.01.2022 Did you know we've saved more than 180,000 bees since Monday with our Bee the Sparkke campaign with Save the Bees Australia? And we couldn't have done it without you all, as every $10 spent through our Sparkke store saves 300 bees! As we’re partnering with Save The Bees Australia to help them continue working to ensure the survival of healthy Bee populations. Here’s how it works.... You invest in 100% natural, award winning beers and other Bee-friendly brews from Sparkke (Yup! no preservatives, no sulphur and bloody delicious), a female-founded and led craft brewery that makes drinks for everyone. We then give 65% of the profit from each sale to Save The Bees Australia so that they can start relocating hives before they’re destroyed. We’re aiming to raise enough money for Save The Bees Australia to rescue and relocate 6 million Bees before the end of this year. But that’s not all we’re doing, read here to learn more about our Save The Bees partnership: sparkke.com/pages/save-the-bees
