Prepare for frosty fun – Daydreams and Ice Cream is taking over West Village

03 Nov 2020

Since 1928, the heritage-listed Peters Ice Cream Factory has been the heart of Boundary Street in West End. For almost seven decades, the southside institution created millions of ice-creams (including the very first Drumstick cone!), until the factory closed its doors in 1996. To celebrate the legacy of this legendary Brisbane locale, West Village is throwing a treat-filled party for the ages – Daydreams and Ice Cream. What better way to welcome in summer than with plenty of sweet bites, live tunes and 'grammable art installations! more

If we can take something positive away from the hardships that 2020 has thrown at us, it’s a galvanised appreciation for the act of dining out.

What a concept!

The Beer Lounge unites craft breweries for an immersive seven-day digital festival

15 May 2020

Much like going to your local pub or craft-beer boozer and ordering a pint, going to a large-scale beer festival is something that might not be on the cards for a while. Naturally, this has left many of Australia's smaller and independent breweries bereft of a vital promotional tool, limiting their outreach and hindering growth. To combat this, the legends behind Aether Brewing and Newstead Brewing Co. have teamed up to offer an out-of-the-box solution – a digital beer festival that you can enjoy while sitting on the couch. The Beer Lounge is launching ticket sales for its inaugural June event while also revealing its first wave of participating breweries. If you consider yourself a beer lover, then you'll want to take part – it could be the way of the future! more
