This year was once again a record turnout - 19 souls took part in the fifth annual pilgrimage across Balmain and Rozelle (involving libation, rather than flagellation), with nine first timers and several veterans of previous campaigns.

The inaugural ABCC in 2011

A relaxing start at the East Village Hotel, Balmain East - with a range of beers that is a pub crawl in itself

Our seven pub route was the same as the successful 2014 ABCC, except the final pub had changed:

1. The East Village Hotel, Balmain East

2. The Dry Dock Hotel, Balmain

3. The Sir William Wallace Hotel, Birchgrove

4. Dicks Hotel, Balmain

5. The Balmain Hotel, Balmain

6. The Welcome Hotel, Rozelle

7. The Three Weeds Hotel, Rozelle (in place of Ruby L'Otel)

  Leaving Pub #1; a major achievement.

 Lunch at the Dry Dock (Pub #2), arguably Balmain's oldest hotel that once served the dock workers at nearby Mort Bay
