Venture south for beers, food and music at Festival of the Stone

It's that time of year again – Festival of the Stone is back and it's bigger and better than ever! Beloved Byron Bay craft brewery Stone & Wood has announced its popular event will be held on Saturday June 9, with an afternoon and evening full of great food, live music, family-friendly entertainment and, of course, beer. Lots of beer. 


This year’s Festival of the Stone will also mark the release of Stone & Wood’s seasonal brew – the dark full-bodied winter Stone Beer, which honours ancient brewing techniques and boasts notes of roasted caramel and cocoa. Kegs of the new beer will be tapped for the first time at the June 9 event and will be served until the taps run dry, so get there early to be one of the first to taste this new-season brew. Plus, all proceeds from the beer sales will be going directly to local charity Big Scrub Landcare.

Tickets to Stone & Wood’s afternoon of beer, food trucks, live music and that glorious winter sunshine are $30 – but be warned, this event sold out last year, so make sure you act with a little haste this time around and pre-purchase your tickets online. Festival of the Stone is happening on Saturday June 9 from 3:00–10:00 pm at Stone & Wood’s Byron Bay brewery – you’ll find all the details over here.
