LOCAL BREWERIES
Aussies do love to get behind a good
brew. Often overlooked though is the
simplicity of gifting a case of local ales
to the beer connoisseurs on Santa’s

Hemingway's Brewery, Macalister
Brewing Company, Barrier Reef Brewing
Co. and Sauce all within arm’s reach, why
not put together a tasting paddle for your
true blue kin?

If quirky is the name, then I Am Sugarbeam is the game. Street artist Emma
is the hands behind it all, whipping up magnets and earrings in a signature
cartoonish style. These are sure to be a hit for anyone who likes bright colours
and conversations, ‘cause they’ll strike up a few with these gems.
