Dinner Time There’s only one thing we love more than drinking good beer served fresh inside the brewery, and that’s having great local food to complement it. Our Three & Three Dinner Series is all about bringing these things together under our roof. You’re invited to come and enjoy a seated dinner staged within the brewery featuring three courses made from seasonal produce from the Byron Bay region perfectly matched by Monique and the team at Seaweed Cuisine with each of the three beers we brew and bottle right here at Stone & Wood. In matching each course with our Pale Lager, Draught Ale and Stone Beer, Monique has planned a menu that makes the most of the locally farmed produce and freshly caught seafood. Whether you’re a serious foodie, diehard beer nerd or just someone who enjoys one-of-a-kind experiences, this promises to be a fun night for everyone. We’re brewing up a special evening including some music, door prizes and maybe even an exclusive treat or two. For more details, you’ll just have to come along on the night! Date: September 11 Time: 7pm until late Address: 4 Boronia Place, Byron Bay There are only 100 seats available, so bookings are essential. Tickets1200 Add new comment

Coffee and beer team up!

Written by John Stallwood

Thursday, 03 June 2010

Coffee and beer - together? It might sound crazy, but sometimes it’s the most unlikely pairs that generate the most rich and flavoursome results.

On Monday morning, two of the Gold Coast’s best-known brewers, Brennan Fielding of Burleigh Brewing Co and Kenton Campbell of Zarraffa’s Coffee, will come together to grind, pour and mix the right ingredients to create the first locally-made black coffee lager.

The Burleigh Brewing Co team will work swiftly alongside the Zarraffa’s team grinding hundreds of kilos of 100% rainforest alliance coffee beans, ready to be poured directly into the brewing beer, in the one-hour window available.

If the rich aroma of ground coffee and brewing beer is not enough to lure you down, interviews with Brennan and Kenton will be available, and the Brewery will be alive with activity – featuring teams of grinders and brewers all working together.

Plus, for those lucky enough to attend, we’ll be announcing the name of this new black coffee lager on the morning.

We look forward to seeing you on Monday as we create coffee and beer history for the Gold Coast!
