Come along to the inaugural Beers & Ideas – a laidback evening of conversation, beers, nibbles and an epic BBQ prepared by Matt of Rum & Que - a well-known BBQ team who regularly compete on the BBQ circuit
Hellers Sharp Black and Aussie Butcher New Lynn Director, Reuben Sharples will get the ball rolling on the night with his ideas that transcend the basics. Collectively, we’re keen to chat about what’s trending and ignite some new ideas for products and adding value into your business. This is designed to be an informal evening of networking and sharing, as opposed to a presentation, so who knows where the conversation will lead us!
Thursday 29 August from 6.30pm – 8.00pm
At 1a Charles Street, Mt Eden (parking around the back of the building)
Beers & Ideas is free for members ($20 for non-members, payable by cash or eftpos on the night)

The ANZCO Foods Butcher Apprentice competitors also have the addition of an interview and multiple-choice exam.

The Alto Butcher and ANZCO Foods Butcher Apprentice of the Year Grand Final is staged in Auckland’s Shed 10 as part of a glitzy dinner which is a much-anticipated highlight on the industry calendar.
