Beer becomes a tourism focus for WA

Could this be the ultimate West Australian food and beer match? Crayfish (or Western Rock Lobster depending where you’re from) freshly pulled from a Cray pot off Rottnest Island and BBQ’d beachside. And what do you match with a little creature of the deep? Yep, a Little Creature of a different kind. What would your perfect match be?

Rich Keam, won the job as Taste Master WA (part of Best Jobs in the World) and has for the last 6 months been travelling the state, seeking out the best food and drink on offer. In between his culinary adventure, throwing himself out of planes and penning the odd ditty, he does also find time to write about it.

This is the first of a series of short films that focus on food and drink in Perth. His guide is Kiren Mainwaring of Co-op Dining in East Perth, who shows that you can bring a little fine dining skill to the beach. Look out in coming weeks for a craft beer crawl of Fremantle with some very familiar faces of the WA beer scene.
