This is the bastard son and idiot brother of the much talked about Itís a Rematch Beeyatch Uk. Born from the beautiful thing that was Mr Myagiís Mixological Mayhem and remixed from Jigger, Beaker, BADASS! It’s reached as far as NY, NOLA, Canada, Moscow, all over the Land Of OZ and is on its way to Sydney Bar Week!
There ís some unfinished business to be taken care of and we need to figure out who is the fastest bartender at bar week, but why have a head to head when you can start a riot?
Forget about memorising NOM numbers, leave your syphon and frying pan at home, take your lavender syrup off the stove and stop calling yourself a mixologist. Whether you work at Merivale or Maybe Sammy, Eau de Vie or scu-bar, if your business card says consultant, ambassador or you carry the title Barback or Bartender, Barkeep or Bar wench, Barman or Barbitch, Cocktail Cowboy or Drink Slinger, Chef or Captain, Mixologist or Cocktologists, Wine Steward or Sommelier, Waiter or Waitress, Brand ambassador or Brand person, Manager or Owner, Alcoholic or Alcohologist, Trashbag or Professional……
Discard your claim to fame at the door and prepare yourself (and your liver) for some good old fashioned FUN!!! (Heavy drinking is not advised or condoned,
these things only cause trouble)
