Brookvale breweries launch Brookie Brights festivities
Brookvale’s brewery and distillery precinct, Brookie Trail, is inviting beer lovers and fans of craft beverages to welcome the festive season with its first Christmas-inspired celebration, Brookie Brights.
Taking place daily throughout the month of December, the Northern Beaches precinct will host a calendar of family-friendly events, showcasing the craft of local breweries 7 th Day Brewery, Dad & Dave’s, Bucketty’s and Freshwater Brewing, alongside local producers Manly Spirits, Goodradigbee and Sale Pepe Pizzeria.
Mike Beresford-Jones, Chair of Brookie Brights and Owner of 7 th Day Brewery, says: “We’re excited to bring the bright lights to the Northern Beaches this Christmas. We’ve teamed up with local musicians and vendors to put together a diverse schedule of festive events and activities for all ages across all of our venues.”
Each day, Christmas light displays will create a festive atmosphere throughout the precinct, illuminating the breweries and setting the scene for a variety of live music performances, including the Oompah Loompah Band and Saskia Walsh, with a festive-themed silent disco scheduled for Friday 20 December.
Throughout the month-long Brookie Brights celebration, patrons can expect exclusive holiday offers, seasonal brews, festive cocktails and themed menu items, including a barrel-aged nitro stout, weisse beer and Kölsch.
Guests who download the digital Brookie Passport will be guided through each venue’s special offers and activity schedules – and those who visit all seven venues over the month will be entered into a draw to win a $500 Christmas booze hamper, with the winner to be announced on New Year’s Eve.
Other activities include free family-friendly games such as foosball and beer garden boules, bad Santa bingo, Christmas trivia and a Christmas market with 10 vibrant stalls featuring favourite local brands.
