Story by WA Beam Suntory Ambassador Brendan Scott Gray
For the third yr operating the Bin Rooster Championship is again to problem Perth bartenders to create new methods for sustainability within the bar.
For these of you who’ve by no means heard of it earlier than the idea is straightforward. 4 bar groups are given a spirit and a typical waste ingredient present in a bar and are tasked with discovering a technique to utilise the 2 collectively in a cocktail.
Every staff has two weeks to determine how they’re going to place all of it collectively earlier than getting behind the bar at The Mechanics Institute to showcase their drink to the general public, and hospo scene alike, on the annual occasion.
Earlier years have seen bar groups growing new and creative methods to utilise waste components corresponding to Egg Shells, Celery Leaf, Beer cans and off wines and this yr has some recent challenges. The 4 bar groups concerned this yr are St Bigids, Volare, Hygge Bar and our hosts The Mechanics Institute. They’ve been tasked to make drinks utilizing components corresponding to Egg yolks, Beer runoff, peeled Citrus (Piff included) and left-over curd from Milk Punches. Every staff can have one hour on the occasion to get behind the bar and showcase how they’ve managed to drag all of it collectively.
With the ethos of this occasion being strongly focussed round sustainability and recycling every bar staff can also be given a price range to purchase uniforms for the occasion from Vinnies Retro Op-Store in Northbridge (a St Vincent De Pauls organisation) which donates income to individuals in want locally. Being the irreverent scamps that they’re the bar groups have a powerful tendency to decorate to impress with some wild combos of kinds. This yr seems no completely different.
