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.
