Green Drinks -
fresh ideas & Fresh Flavours

Our monthly get-together of great people, innovative ideas, and of course, drinks.

Every month we welcome the community into a space where ideas are encouraged, debate is topical and the beers are often local. Keep an eye out on our Events Calendar and Facebook page for the latest event details. 

Green Drinks is usually on the 3rd Thursday of each month and often sells out.

Our Next Green Drinks is 23rd April 2026

Name
Winter is on the horizon. It’s time to raid the garden, stock the pantry, and master the art of the preserve.

While we all love a classic burger pickle, there is a whole world of flavor waiting to be discovered. Join us at Sherwood for an evening that’s as delicious as it is hands-on. We’re pushing past the cucumber and exploring the vibrant potential of pickled carrots, tomatoes, and cabbage.

You’ll learn the 'how' and the 'why' (the science of the brine), enjoy plenty of tastings, and settle in for the classic Green Drinks experience: great conversation, local connections, and a glass of something cold.

When: Thursday, April 23rd | 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Where: Sherwood Workshop

Space is limited. Our workshop sessions are intentionally small and always sell out quickly. Don't find yourself in a pickle. Grab your tickets today!

Hosted by Mrs Pickles herself - Josie from Robbies. Seriously, people don’t use my name anymore. I am the cook and creator. I absolutely love what we create, and I hope that one day soon you will love it too! A little of my heart goes into each bottle or jar. When our last baby arrived, I really missed the food I grew up with and started cooking it. My grandmother blessed me with a love of cooking and great flavour. My grandfather blessed me with a green thumb and a love of growing. I am a combination of both of them. My favourites are the Apricot + Walnut Chutney, Green Tomato relish and the Pickled Beetroot. Right from the start we had things we would not compromise on, like only organic molasses and heritage apples for my Nana’s Worchester Sauce, which I believe is the nicest I’ve had, and it’s so good for you! This recipe is over 50 years old. It has been a top seller from day one, it can be found in our garlic sauce range. We grow our own chillies, tomatoes, beetroot, cauliflowers, carrots, cucumbers and garlic organically and whatever else we can, from organic seed, the flavour is so much better to! I also love the growing side which is my respite from the sales and cooking.
