Our Good Beer Week Top Picks and a Fashion Label Inspired by the Rich History of the African Continent

The biggest week on the beer calendar is back with more than 70 events across Melbourne and regional Victoria. Broadsheet contributor, Evan Jones, has put together some of the program’s highlights – including beer brewed with native ingredients, funky cheese pairings and a beer bake-off. Plus, Angola-born, Melbourne-raised sisters Laurinda and Fatuma Ndenzako launched their fashion label, Collective Closets in 2016, which marries their Australian and African Cultures. Fatuma joins host Katya Wachtel to share what exciting things Collective Closets has coming up, including being a part of the NGV’s Melbourne Now exhibition and ACMI’s Goddess exhibition.
