Round up your mates, crack open a craft beer in the sun and start streaming Triple J… it’s the hottest 100 weekend! 

Triple J’s Hottest 100 falls on Saturday the 28th of January and is the perfect excuse to throw a day party and enjoy some groovy music as we count down our favourite tunes of 2022.

To top it off, the GABS hottest 100 Australian craft beer countdown falls at the same time! After months of calling for votes and perfecting their crafts, breweries and pubs around the country tune in to a live countdown of the best of Aussie beers. Canberra’s Bentspoke’s Crankshaft IPA has taken out the number 1 spot in 2020 and 2021… will the Capital bring it home for another year?
