On Wednesday 25 April, Four Pillars, described as an ‘award-winning, all-Aussie’ gin, will be hosting a Gin Pig Dinner at Beach Byron Bay. The dinner matches gin and pig, as you sip on Four Pillars cocktails and enjoy the latest batch of Pure Black Berkshire pigs from the Yarra Valley.

These pigs have been pasture bred and fed on spent gin botanicals for the Four Pillars distillations, making these pigs possibly the tastiest pigs in the world.
