Crafts on the Coast, the NSW’s north coast’s only craft beer festival returns to the Seabreeze Beach Hotel for a second year. After the success of last year’s event, the best of the north coast brew scene is back for round two in March 2017.
Between Friday 3 March and Sunday 5 March the Seabreeze Beach Hotel transforms into a beer lover’s playground. Crafts on the Coast celebrates local and regional boutique breweries including Bucket Brewery (Kempsey) and Black Duck Brewery (Port Macquarie).
General Manager of the Seabreeze Beach Hotel, Troy de Luca says, “Crafts on the Coast brings craft beer lovers and the local community together. Seabreeze is buzzing with good vibes, live music, great food and ice cold beer by some of the best brewers in the state.”

The drinks selection is complemented with beer friendly food sourced locally from Macleay Valley producers. The menu is exclusively available for the weekend only.
