When Green Beacon Brewing Co opened its doors back in 2013, few could've known the yeasty, tasty joy that would follow. Actually, that's not true. Predicting that a brewery in Newstead was going to be a hit — well, that can't have been all that difficult.
Now, three years later, they're doing what every brewery is obliged to do on such an occasion, aka throwing a massive birthday bash. And because the Beacon doesn't do things by halves, they not just throwing a shindig — they're making the most of it over the course of a week-long celebration.
It all kicks off with Big Thanks Thursday on January 21, with the help of How We Rolls and some IPA pork belly. Yep, booze and food is the ongoing theme, as also seen in Saturday's food truck and beer special event, Fiesta of the Froth. If you like four-course meals matched with mouthwatering tipples — and who doesn't? — then we recommend dropping by on Monday for the Statler & Waldorf pop-up. Finish up the fun with a good ol' fashioned Australia Day party; tis the day for it, and all that.
