De Kuyper has partnered with Jeff ‘Beachbum’ Berry on the upcoming The Works program, a series of inspirational and creative flavour workshops in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.
Jeff is one of Imbibe Magazine’s “25 Most Influential Cocktail Personalities of the Past Century” and will host the De Kuyper The Works event series alongside Bacardi-Martini Brand Ambassador Peter Hollands. Together they will showcase De Kuyper’s flavour portfolio, as well as Jeff’s worldwide renown creativity in tropical drinks.
Jeff’s original cocktail recipes have been printed in publications around the world including the venerable, Mr. Boston Official Bartenders Guide. You can now find his drinks being served at his New Orleans restaurant, Beachbum Berry’s Latitude 29, which has been named as one of the USA’s best new bars, and the New Orleans Advocate calls “a treasure chest of the tastes and attitude that first made Tiki so popular, curated by someone uniquely qualified for the task.”
The events are open for trade only and bartenders who attend The Works will have the opportunity to pick up new knowledge across the liqueurs category and mixology techniques, while learning about the history and production of De Kuyper, from its origins as a family owned distillery in Holland to becoming a successful global brand.
This year will mark the third time that The Works has come to Australia with events scheduled in late August in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. Berry will be following in the footsteps of other industry legends who have starred in program including Nicolas Saint-Jean, Arno van Eijmeren and most recently Alex Kratena in 2016.
Event Dates:
- Sydney – Sunday 27th August
- Brisbane – Tuesday 29th August
- Melbourne – Wednesday 30th August
The events are for industry only. For more information on how to attend De Kuyper The Works in your city please contact Peter Hollands – 0420 991 092 phollands@bacardi.com.
