Petition Beer Corner

Getting a job at Petition Beer Corner isn’t as simple as having stellar bar experience and your RSA. The entire staff is certified through the Ciccerone Certification Program, a rigorous test that ensures its takers know their Russian Imperial Stout from their Czech Pilsner – and which foods to pair them with. It’s the only place in WA that demands such accreditation, and just the second in Australia.

Petition’s beer ambassador is tasked with sourcing 18 revolving independent taps from around the state and beyond, from the classic to the uncommon, with occasional limited-edition drops.

Available in two sizes, the brews are all priced the same to encourage exploration. It’s the most exciting ode to beer Perth has ever seen. Though what else would you expect from a place launched by the founders of Little Creatures.

The bar menu is as rich and salty as you’d hope, albeit elevated from standard bar grub. Think snacks like grilled chorizo drizzled in lemon; pork belly bites slathered in gochujang; and Basque salami with cornichons and parmesan. If you’re after a larger meal you can duck next door to Petition Kitchen.

There’s also an extensive range of bottled beers to buy and take home, as well as growlers of tap beer.
