Finally, who can resist a tasty Mussel fritter from the legendary local Mrs Miller - the perfect pairing to a nice crisp lager. From smoky BBQ to kai moana and bold street eats, there'll be something to satisfy every craving while you sip, snack, and soak up the festival vibes. The atmosphere at Brew of Islands 2025 will be electric, with a packed lineup of live music, DJs, and surprise performances throughout the day. The Live Hall will host three incredible bands: Superhero Second Line will bring the heart and soul of New Orleans with their high-energy, brass-heavy second-line sound (and yes, they perform dressed as superheroes!); Albi & The Wolves will light up the stage with their award-winning indie-folk; and local legends Kōhia will deliver a soulful blend of roots, rock, and reggae with an unmistakably Aotearoa sound. Merv Pinny, Kerikeri's own global sensation, will also take the stage for a powerful hometown set. Meanwhile, the ever-popular Nightclub Zone returns with house, D&B, and electro sets from top DJs including Rhys, French Kiss, Sye, and PAWS, whose electrifying performances are backed by stunning visual displays. And you'll never be bored when just around the corner you might run into Street Entertainer Conrad Comb, back with another wild array of surprise characters and interactive roaming performances – last year it was the gnome army… wait 'til you see what he has in store this time! For those after something beyond the beer, Kindred Spirits will be mixing hand-crafted, artisanal cocktails and mocktails, adding a splash of sophistication to the lineup. Meanwhile, the Gin Bar by Bay of Islands, Black Collar Distillery offers a curated selection for gin lovers chasing bold botanicals and a top-shelf experience. Join us for a day of exceptional brews, electrifying beats, and mouth-watering feasts.

Jason Price, who inspired 'Giving Back' drive, succumbs to cancer
Mar. 18—WATERTOWN — Jason R. Price, 41, who inspired a groundswell of local support in his battle with cancer, succumbed to the disease Friday morning. Local businesses, friends and associates rallied around Price. A Facebook page, "Standing With Jason Price: Local Businesses Giving Back" has 1,100 followers. It spread the word about benefit events and promotions local businesses created and hosted to aid Price Price, a 2001 graduate of General Brown High School, founded the Brew York Festival in Sackets Harbor. He was also co-founder of the Rock Out Childhood Cancer Foundation. He worked as chef and manager at Maggie's on the River and later managed and was a chef at Ruby Tuesday in Watertown and Good Fellos in Sackets Harbor. On Saturday, Price's family posted an update on the "Support Jason Price" GoFundMe page: "Jason passed peacefully after a nearly three year courageous battle with cancer. The battle would not have been possible without the seemingly unlimited amount of financial, emotional, physical, and spiritual support shown to him over those three years. The way our friends, family, and community have shown up for our beloved Jay has been astounding and humbling. We are so grateful." Also, "At the request of numerous organizations so generously offering fundraising efforts as of late, we will keep the Go Fund Me up for a short period of time to allow those to finalize and take place. All remaining proceeds will go toward alleviating financial burden in making his final arrangements, and to the sons he adored so very much, Caleb and Carter.
