BEERS AND BOOKS News and Politics with Rick Morton and Matilda Boseley // Sunday 3 November // 3:00pm - 4:00pm // Venue: Mountain Culture Beer Co, Katoomba // Part of the 2024 Blue Mountains Writers' Festival


Pairing bestselling books with an award-winning brew? It’s a no-brainer. Kick back for Sunday arvo beers (and a fried pickle or two) at Mountain Culture Brewery, just a stone’s throw from our festival hub. Chat with your favourite writers about knotty topics and big ideas, with more relaxed, casual vibes than your usual author talk.

Hop on your soapbox, beer in hand, and chat about what’s wrong with the world in this interactive session on news and politics, hosted by Rick Morton and Matilda Boseley. These award-winning journalists have dedicated their careers to exposing scandals, explaining systems, and telling stories that need to be told. If you want to know more about domestic policy, political personalities, social issues or the future of the fourth estate, join Rick and Matilda at Mountain Culture to ask the big questions and consider the answers.

Join Rick and Matilda at Mountain Culture to ask the big questions and consider whether more than one answer might be true.
