Darker Days Bright Brewery

Bloody good beer. Live music. Bold, decadent flavours. Darker Days is your ultimate winter escape where the nights are longer, the vibes are richer, and the experience hits deeper.

Join us as we light up the night on Saturday, June 20, 2026.
We’re stoked to announce that THE GROGANS will be headlining Darker Days Festival!
Bringing their raw blend of surf, punk, blues and garage rock from the coast to the mountains, The Grogans will raise the roof at DARKER DAYS with high‑energy riffs and a crowd‑ready live show.
Darker Days is your gateway to the boldest, most innovative craft breweries from near and far. Think festival-exclusive collabs, one-off releases, and brews that celebrate all things rich and delicious. This is where the true flavour hunters gather.
