“Blackflag produces a pale ale, Indian pale ale and sour beer, Heads of Noosa specialises in a range of lagers produced using solar power, Diablo Co produces white spirits based ginger beer produced with sugar cane from the Sunshine Coast, and Ohana Winery produces a boutique cider range from apples grown in Stanthorpe.” Member for Gladstone Glenn Butcher said the festival gave crowds the opportunity to sample some of the best beer and cider from Queensland s best breweries.
Event organiser Jemma Tangohau said it was unknown how much revenue was generated on the day but the event’s production costs would go towards Gladstone’s Harbour Festival in April.
