The craft brewery is hosting an event to rewatch the Hawks vs Cats clash of 1989.

The 1989 final was named the best grand final of all time by The Age football writer Rohan Connolly.

It was Hawthorn's seventh grand final in a row, and came after their 1987 premiership win. But Geelong had the "freakish" Gary Ablett, he said.

The game featured a lacerated kidney, broken ribs, and goal-scoring records.

Little Rivers agrees: "No other word than 'epic' accurately describes the encounter between the two teams," it said on the event promotion page.

It will have Cottage Bakery on site for a "real footy feel" with pies and pasties.
