Beer & Beef Melbourne August 2026 Luncheon

TICKET SALES CLOSE THIS FRIDAY AT 5:00 PM — DON'T MISS OUT!

With just one week to go until our August luncheon, now is the time to secure your place for what promises to be one of the highlights of the Beer & Beef calendar.

Join us for another outstanding Beer & Beef luncheon as we visit the renowned William Angliss Institute, Australia's leading specialist hospitality and tourism training institution.

Our special guest speaker is John Silvester, affectionately known as the "Sly of the Underworld," one of Australia's most respected journalists and the man behind some of Melbourne's biggest crime stories. Through his work with The Age, 3AW and the bestselling Underbelly books, John has spent more than 40 years covering Melbourne's criminal underworld. Known for his sharp wit, engaging storytelling and unrivalled behind-the-scenes insights, John promises to deliver a fascinating and entertaining afternoon.

Guiding us through the afternoon as MC will be Michael Roberts, whose wit, humour and experience will ensure the luncheon is as entertaining as ever.

Adding to the occasion, members and guests will enjoy an exceptional multi-course dining experience prepared and served by the talented students of William Angliss under the guidance of experienced hospitality professionals.

Please note: This luncheon will be held on Wednesday 26 August, rather than our usual second Wednesday of the month, allowing us to enjoy this unique dining experience at William Angliss.

Whether you're a long-time member or joining us for the first time, you'll enjoy outstanding food, great company and the fellowship that has been at the heart of Beer & Beef for more than 60 years.

Don't miss out — book your tickets before 5:00 PM this Friday.

We look forward to seeing you at William Angliss on Wednesday 26 August.
