What is The Beer & Beef Club - Melbourne Inc?

Good Beer! Good Beef! Good Fellowship!
This simple statement perfectly captures the spirit of the Melbourne Beer & Beef Club.

Formed in 1963 by like-minded business people, the Club has been meeting regularly ever since and continues to uphold its long-standing traditions.

Members and guests gather for monthly luncheons and occasional dinners at a variety of venues across Melbourne. At each event, beers selected by our Beer Master are thoughtfully paired with a two- to three-course meal featuring beef as the mainstay, chosen by our Food Master. Many events also feature a guest speaker, adding to the richness of the experience.

Our members bring professional experience from a wide range of industry sectors, and guests are encouraged to attend and share in the fellowship of the Club.

The Melbourne Beer & Beef Club also takes pride in raising funds for worthwhile charities and supporting the hospitality industry through our ongoing association with William Angliss.

The dress code is business attire, and all attending members are required to wear their membership tie or scarf at each event.

Membership is by referral.

Royal Saxon

Join us for a special July Beer & Beef luncheon featuring former Melbourne Storm NRL player Peter Robinson as our guest speaker. With the deciding State of Origin clash taking place later that evening, there's no better way to get into the spirit than by hearing from someone who has lived the game at the highest level. Peter will share stories from his time with the Melbourne Storm, offer a behind-the-scenes look at professional rugby league, and provide his unique perspective on one of Australia's greatest sporting rivalries. Since hanging up the boots, Peter has continued to make a significant impact on the game through his work in player wellbeing and education with the Melbourne Storm and the NRL. Working closely with current and emerging players, he has helped shape the next generation of rugby league talent, supporting athletes both on and off the field. His unique experiences, spanning elite competition through to player development and mentoring, promise an engaging and insightful presentation. Our luncheon will be held at the iconic Royal Saxon in Richmond. Known for its outstanding hospitality and relaxed atmosphere, it's the perfect setting to enjoy an afternoon of great food, good company and the fellowship that has defined Beer & Beef for more than 60 years. Keeping the afternoon flowing will be our MC, Michael Roberts, whose trademark wit and humour are sure to make this another memorable Beer & Beef event. Whether you're a passionate rugby league supporter, a sports enthusiast, or simply looking to enjoy great conversation with fellow members and guests, this luncheon promises something for everyone. We look forward to welcoming you to the Royal Saxon for another outstanding Beer & Beef luncheon.
