Liquor specialist publication TheShout New Zealand – a section of Hospitality Business dedicated to all things liquor – is proud to announce its collaboration with Fine Food New Zealand over an exciting new feature at this year’s show.
TheShout Masterclasses & Fight Club will provide audiences with a fantastic combination of masterclasses on how different types of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages can best be utilised by restaurant and bar managers, as well as thrilling head-to-head competitions between some of the best mixologists in Auckland.
With three sessions on each of the three days of Fine Food NZ 2014, TheShout Masterclasses & Fight Club are sure to dazzle the audience and break conventional thinking on how beverages can be used.
The morning and lunch sessions will showcase masterclasses by industry experts on beverages including wine, vodka, beer, tequila, whisky and a host of non-alcoholic drinks.
Fight Club – a head-to-head mixology competition between some of the finest bartenders in Auckland – will take place in the afternoon of day one and two. Day one’s grudge match will see a bartender from the Hilton take on a counterpart from Hotel DeBrett, while day two will see Britomart take on Ponsonby.
Sessions are free to attend. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
