Murray’s Brewery’s ‘Go Loco’ Summer Festival features a crazy line-up of 7 fruit beers, 2 ciders, luxe cocktails, craft spirits, free concerts, BBQ and tacos –plus for the first time, hermit crab racing!
Visitors can enjoy live musical entertainment every weekend, PLUS the award-winning venue will host 3 free summer concert events – 26 December Boxing Day Rocks (featuring Brien McVernon); 1 January New Year’s Day Recovery Party (featuring Grayson); 26 January Australia Day Weekend (featuring Michael Peter).
“Where else on the peninsula can you sample fresh blueberry beer, pear cider, craft spirits and cocktails, while feasting on our famous smokehouse menu, sitting back and taking in some tunes, get educated on a brewery tour, have the kids run wild safely – and compete in crab racing? It really is loco! We couldn’t be more excited to bring a full line up of great experiences to Port Stephens this Summer,” said Brewery owner, Murray Howe.
A line-up of 7 fruit beers will add to the festivities, including Murray’s annual ‘Melon Rouge’ Watermelon Beer. 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. In addition to its regular line-up, visitors can enjoy a brand new range of fruit beers – Passionfruit, Lime, Blood Orange, Blueberry, White Peach, Watermelon, Pineapple . . . . plus the launch of Murray’s new Pear Cider. The beers will be released progressively from December.
“If you think mixing beer and fruit is for whimps, then think again! Properly balanced fruit beer can be the perfect, refreshing beverage on a hot summer day.”
A fresh summer menu, focused on smokehouse and BBQ and ironically also adding more vegan options, and new in-demand specials including taco trios will be served.
Murray’s Brewery will be opening later on Saturday nights in December and January when it will serve pizzas and fries until sunset - perfect for a family and friends get together.
There’s lots to keep the kids happy, with weekend kids’ outdoor games such as hermit crab races and apple bobbing, plus an interactive scavenger hunt game to play.
Brewery Tours occur daily at 2.15pm, and live music plays every weekend. A Brewery Bus shuttle service operates from Nelson Bay on weekends, as well as on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
Murray’s Go Loco Summer festivities start on 7 December, and run through to the Australia Day long weekend in late January.
