Top 6 Announced Brooklyn Bel Air Sour ‘Party Tartly’ Cocktail Cup!
Dec 03, 2019
The wait is over, and Brooklyn has just announced the finalists for the inaugural Bel Air ‘Party Tartly’ Cocktail Cup.
Throughout October, bartenders across NSW and VIC were invited to flex their mixology skills with a less than traditional ingredient – sour beer. Competitors were challenged to create an original Brooklyn Bel Air Sour ale cocktail using no more than five ingredients, then promote their concoction during the month of November in venue and online for a chance to secure a money-can’t-buy Brooklyn experience.
Over the last week, a panel of judges have had the gruelling task of narrowing down our finalists from a group of over 60 entrants. The panel, which was led by drinks expert Tim Phillips (Bartender of the year - UK 2010 and Australia 2011/12 and owner of popular Sydney bars - Bulletin Place and Dead Ringer) completed a blind taste testing to reach a decision on the lucky and super talented Top 6 – with a Top 3 from Victoria, and a Top 3 from Sydney.
On Monday 9 December 2019, the Bel Air ‘Partly Tartly’ Cocktail Cup will culminate in the ‘Party Tartly’ Cocktail Cup winner’s party at Slim’s Rooftop Hyde Park House, featuring 70s inspired DJ sets, flamingos, party shirts and sweet Bel Air Creations, officially marking the launch of Bel Air Sour and crowning the first ever ‘Party Tartly’ Cup Winner.
Our Top 6 finalists will all be in attendance and each of their Bel Air cocktails will be showcased at the rooftop party. The lucky winner will receive a once-in-a-lifetime trip to New York City including flights, accommodation, a Brooklyn Brewery Tour, a Helicopter Tour of New York City, entry into the Brooklyn Bar Convent, as well as a $4,000 cash prize.
