Victorians are being urged to choose a local craft beer for Christmas celebrations, even if their favourite drop isn t on tap or on the shelf, as independent brewers scramble to keep up with demand after the state s extended COVID-19 lockdown.
Since Premier Daniel Andrews released Melburnians from lockdown on October 28, punters have had an insatiable thirst for fresh pints from the tap.
