New beer to mark Indian Ocean Brewing anniversary
A new beer will be created to mark the anniversary of a northern suburbs waterfront venue.
Indian Ocean Brewing Company is celebrating its 20th anniversary in June by turning its Mindarie Marina base into a month-long celebration of all things beer, music and mateship.
The venue will be decked out with branded coasters, 20-year pint glasses, bunting and limited-edition merch.
Your local paper, whenever you want it.
Entertainment will include live bands every weekend and the Battle of the Ex-Brewers on Friday, June 13, in which former IOBC brewers will return for a one-night-only epic beer showdown.
Classic Indi brews will go head-to-head with beers from the brewers' current homes, including Whitfords Brewing Co and Mandoon Estate.
The celebration will also include the debut of Indi Platinum White, a reimagined brew of IOBC White Cap, one of the first beers poured at the brewery.
It will be available for a limited time throughout June and each purchase of Indi Platinum White will put punters in a draw to win an Ultimate Mindarie Day Out: a private fishing charter for six with Mindarie Charters, followed by lunch and beers at IOBC.
The anniversary will also bring the return of Oaklore, a limited beer brewed with Whipper Snapper Distillery.

'I escaped to one of Stayz' top 10 holiday homes. I see why it's award-winning'
When I think of holidays, my mind usually jumps to far-flung, passport-stamping destinations—the kind that live on vision boards and in frequent flyer fantasies. But a recent getaway gave that thinking a serious reality check. Nestled in the Central West, in a countryside postcard known as Abercorn, I discovered that the ultimate escape doesn't need a customs line. Listed as one of Stayz' top 10 holiday homes for 2025, Abercorn sits in a valley so peaceful, even the roads don't bother with stop signs. It's wrapped in vineyards, kissed by country air, and just a short drive from the town of Mudgee. A true country getaway that gently yanks you and your family out of city chaos and into something that feels a lot like exhaling for the first time in months. Want to join the family? Sign up to our Kidspot newsletter for more stories like this. Abercorn was named one of Stayz' top 10 holiday homes for 2025. Image: Supplied RELATED: The best family-friendly property in Australia has been revealed There's a reason why Abercorn is one of the top holiday homes This holiday getaway delivers for both sides of the parenting contract. The kids get disconnected from electronics with wide open spaces and endless adventures. You get silence, scenery, and maybe even coffee that's warm enough to drink! It is the kind of break from routine that will reset everyone. The moment you roll down the long driveway, Abercorn starts showing off. The view stretches out in every direction, with a valley so wide it feels like you've landed in a postcard. And then, just as you're taking that all in, you spot the front entrance. The path to the door is framed by a dreamy arch covered in a carefully curated tangle of greenery, setting the tone before you've even turned the handle. This, I thought, is when the holiday officially begins. Inside, Abercorn instantly delivers on the cosy-meets-stylish promise. Designed to sleep eight, the house manages to feel both spacious and snug at the same time. The open-plan kitchen and living area is perfect for guests to wander from space to space without bumping into anyone, but it also gives everyone enough room to peel off and have their own little corner of calm. For me, the real standout was the massive windows that wrap around the living space, seamlessly inviting the countryside in. They became my favourite spot, perfect for savouring morning coffees, enjoying sunset wines, and soaking in every moment in between. Cosy vibes in the country. Image: Supplied The bedrooms are thoughtfully spread out, with a generous master, two queen rooms, and a sweet twin room that's practically begging for a sibling sleepover. Each space has its own rustic charm, and yes, more of those magical windows so you can wake up to gum trees instead of Google Calendar notifications. But here's where Abercorn really turns the dial up—two fireplaces. One inside for toasty nights curled up with a glass of red, and one outside for marshmallow-roasting sessions under the stars. Whether you're a parent in desperate need of downtime or a couple looking for a quiet spot to reconnect, there's a nook for you. And just when you think the charm has peaked, there's a veggie garden tucked off to the side. You can pick whatever's ripe or just potter around pretending you're Meghan Markle! Feeding the cows with the kids never gets old. Image: Supplied Keeping the whole family entertained Inside Abercorn, the charm just keeps coming. I loved seeing shelves packed with books of every kind, offering a much-needed break from our screens and a chance to dive into a good story. These days, it's so easy to get caught up in our devices, even when we're trying to relax. But if reading isn't your thing, no worries. The games area downstairs is a real gem, with a table tennis table and a bunch of board games that kept the kids busy and our competitive spirits alive. And yes—this is a farm stay, which means there are farm animals, big cows that love to get fed hay. They wander over around 4pm each day for a snack and a sticky beak, and feeding them quickly became a daily highlight. Whether you are an adult or a child this activity is heaps of fun and is something everyone got excited about. Off to sample some of Mudgee's best.

There's wine tasting for the grown-ups (you've earned it), charming boutiques to browse, and if you time it right, weekend markets bursting with local goodies. I loved wandering through the quiet streets and hidden corners—every path felt like an invitation to slow down and breathe out. Before heading out from Abercorn, I couldn't help but feel thankful for the simple joys we experienced. It was the perfect escape from the digital grind, offering real connection and relaxation. Whether you're chasing family fun or a peaceful retreat, Abercorn greets you with open arms and moments you won't forget. The writer was a guest of Stayz.
