4064 Festival

Overview

For decades, Brisbane's 4064 postcode has been synonymous with alcohol for one big reason: the XXXX brewery that no one can miss thanks to the sign and the yeasty smell. But it isn't the only place in the area that's making its own tipples, with everywhere from Newstead Brewing Co and Common Ground Brewing to Milton Rum and Warehouse 25 also getting in on the action. And, to celebrate, those four boozy outfits are hosting their own festival.

The 4064 Festival is all about two things: drinks and the postcode responsible for plenty of them, obviously. Running from 3–8.30pm on Saturday, September 10, it'll span beverages, food, tunes, games and prizes.

While four different boozemakers are behind the event, it's only happening in one spot: Newstead Brewing Co's Milton home on Castlemaine Street, in its beer garden to be exact. That's where Aunty Stan, Waiting Room DJ's and Paolo Ji will hit the decks; attendees can try their luck in a ping pong contest; and free tastings and food specials will also be on offer.

This is 4064 Festival's first outing, with entry free — and you'll pay for what you eat and drink, tastings aside, from there. That said, if you live or work in the postcode, and you bring your ID or business card, you can nab one free beverage token.
