Darker Days

Overview

Victoria has a brand new winter festival — and it'll deliver both brightness and darkness. The first comes courtesy of the town of Bright and its source of tasty brews, Bright Brewery. The second stems from dark beers, their beverage of focus on July 1.

At Darker Days, you'll head to one to enjoy the other. Enjoying the best tipples the craft brewers of the High Country Brewery Trail have to offer is the aim of the afternoon festivities, running from 1pm to 10pm, with Black Dog Brewery  from Taminick, Blizzard Brewing from Dinner Plain, Bridge Road Brewers from Beechworth, Sweetwater Brewing Co from Tawonga South and Nightingale Alpine Cider all be in attendance.

As well as bringing together quite the range of beverages, there'll also be warm foods, roasted chestnuts, gooey marshmallows, live music and maybe even ghost stories. Plus, making sure everyone is really feeling toasty, there'll also be a ceremonial bonfire, burning a giant wooden structure in the shape of the brewery's logo.
