Saddle up, Brookie — the Hoedown is BACK for 2026 and it's bigger, louder and wilder than ever! Lock it in: Saturday 18 July — one huge day of boots, brews and country chaos across the Brookie Trail. The usual suspects are all in — Freshwater Brewing, Manly Spirits, 7th Day Brewery, Dad n Dave's Brewing, Bucketty's, Noble Craft Distillers and more — serving up live country tunes, line dancing, whip cracking, western games, exclusive brews and plenty of yeehaw energy. Dust off the denim and rally the crew.
