There's always a bit of banter between those north and south of Sydney's famous bridge and its resident brewers are no exception. Bragging rights are especially sought now that both sides of the harbour are blooming with breweries so the only fair way to judge is by putting a fair representation of each side on the bar and see whose beer is best.

So it will be at the Forest Lodge Hotel on Thursday May 26 when they host their second Inner West versus North Shore Brewery Showdown. Representing the south side will be Batch Brewing Company, Shenanigans and Grifter Brewing Company while the northerners will be flying the flags of 4 Pines, Nomad and Modus Operandi.

It'll be a fine chance to meet a bunch of Sydney's best brewers while enjoying their wares and being in the chance to win some sweet merch.

There'll also be live tunes courtesy of Matt Cochrane who'll be swapping sides of the bar and busting out his guitar and songbook.

Get along from around 5pm.
