Gin in a tin
Four Pillars has launched two new gins in a tin, adding to its already-tinned Rare Dry G&T. And they’re perfect for summer drinking. The zesty yuzu gin and soda is a highball-style sip, made using the distillery’s Fresh Yuzu Gin. And the Bloody Shiraz G&T brings the cult-favourite purple spirit into the world of cans, with a dash of lemon. They’re $28 for a four-pack, and available from the Four Pillars laboratory in Surry Hills, as well as select bottle shops. fourpillarsgin.com

A journey through time and space

Tickets include a cocktail on arrival and paired wines. events.humantix

Brews news
Charcoal chicken joint Henrietta has teamed up with brewery Yulli’s Brews to create a custom lager. Available at the Surry Hills eatery, it’s a light and dry brew with a hint of citrus and a dash of sumac – an ideal companion to Henrietta’s juicy chooks and its sumac-sprinkled hot chips. On August 17 it’ll mark the launch with a beer-inspired trivia night. The new beer will be $2 on the night and accompanied by a banquet ($49) that includes hummus, falafel, chicken, salad, toum, baklava and more. henriettachicken.com
