The brewers at Young Henrys have made an ANZAC inspired beer in collaboration with Marrickville Council. The ANZAC bikkie-flavoured beer includes malt, oats, honey and rosemary – a symbol of remembrance. Hops from New Zealand and Australia have been used fittingly to honour the Australian, New Zealand Army Corps.
World War I saw 456 soldiers from Marrickville die in service of Australia. The beer has been named Winged Victory in reference to the statue that was erected in Marrickville (since relocated to the Australian War Memorial) to honour the ultimate sacrifice the residence of Marrickville made.
A new replica of the original Winged Victory is to be unveiled in Marrickville on April 19 in time for the ANZAC Centenary. The event will feature a parade, photo exhibition and the launch of the Winged Victory Ale.
Where: Launching at Marrickville Town Hall
When: April 19
