Murray’s Brewery Boxing Day Rocks Festival

Featuring:

• Launch of Murray’s famous Watermelon Beer
• FREE rockin’ family concert
• BBQ and Taco food specials
• Hermit Crab Racing
• Brewery Tours and more . . .

Thursday 26 December, 2019

Don’t box yourself in with nothing fun to do on Boxing Day . . . . come out and celebrate Boxing Day Rocks at Murray’s Brewery instead!

The brewer is marking the public holiday with some crazy fun, including the annual release of its famous Watermelon Beer, a FREE rocking concert performed by local artist Brian McVernon, kids’ activities and hermit crab racing.

The festival is a tribute to flavour, fine tunes and family fun. It’s a great opportunity to sample a range of Murray’s medal-winning craft beer styles and flavours, as well as taste and enjoy a great selection of easy drinking local and regional wines.

Brewery owner, Murray Howe, expects the day to be a big hit with families.  

“The space for kids to play is one of the most consistent compliments we receive.  There’s lots to keep the kids happy, with kids’ outdoor games such as hermit crab races and apple bobbing, plus an interactive scavenger hunt game.”

“And for the big kids, we’re releasing our ‘Melon Rouge’ Watermelon Beer on Boxing Day. While it’s a drinker’s dream, it’s a bit of a brewer’s nightmare as it’s one of the stickiest, messiest brews of the year! Made from more than 100 fresh local watermelons, the base is an American-style wheat beer. The freshly hand-cut and pulped fruit is then added at the fermentation stage. The flavour is subtle, not overpowering watermelon. And the colour is a soft pink hue of the fruit. It’s easy drinking and really refreshing,” he added.

And parents can enjoy some delicious summer food sensations including the brewer’s signature ‘Big Smoke’ BBQ share platter featuring beef brisket, ribs and pork painstakingly slow-smoked over wood fired heat. Or why not try a healthy option like a lamb quinoa salad or trio of tacos? It matches perfectly to a refreshing glass of the Watermelon Beer.

There’s great kids’ $10 meal deals too, including pure fruit ice-creams matched to the fruit beer flavours all summer.

Murray’s Brewery and Port Stephens Winery is VERY family friendly, and children are very welcome.

Brewery Tours run daily at 2.15pm and cost $5 per adult (children until 12 years free).

A special Brewery Bus service will be running on the day, travelling in from Nelson Bay. The service is $5 per person, and includes a free Brewery Tour! Bookings essential.

Murray’s Brewery is open Boxing Day from 10am until 6pm.
