Darker Days In Bright 2018 (VIC)

Bright Brewery's midwinter festival, Darker Days, is back for a second year in June. 

Centred around dark and seasonal beers produced by the brewers of Victoria’s High Country, the festival is a showcase of local produce and activities that celebrate winter in the Alpine region. 

As a result, expect to see myriad local breweries and other producers there, including distillers, cideries and wineries.

There are also local entertainers, musicians, and restaurants involved in the family friendly festival. Plus the day sees the launch of Bright's Stubborn Russian Imperial Stout as well as the return of another limited release: Black Diamond India Black Ale.

The festival runs from 12pm to 9pm at 123 Great Alpine Road, Bright, (aka Bright Brewery’s vacant block), with entry a gold coin donation that goes to the local CFA.

If you're in Sydney or Canberra, you can book a spot on a road trip being organised by Dave's Travel & Events – details here.
