8 | Mid-Western Living | SUMMER 2025 COLD BEERS, BIG FLAVOUR No summer celebration is complete without a cold drink in hand - and Three Tails Brewery knows how to deliver. With 21 craft beers on tap at the brewery, plus a great range of canned beers to take home and enjoy, this Mudgee favourite is all about flavour, variety and good times. The venue itself is a destination: think Spanishstyle tapas, Texas-inspired BBQ, and multiple areas to suit every mood - from the buzzing beer hall to the relaxed outdoor beer garden. It’s dogfriendly, family-friendly, and full of character, with live music often rounding out the weekend atmosphere. The beers and glassware featured on our Fired Up for Summer cover collaboration came straight from Three Tails Brewery - a perfect match for the vibrant, flavour-filled energy they bring to every event. Whether you’re popping in for a tasting paddle at the brewery, stocking up for a backyard BBQ, or settling in with mates over a full feast, this is a place - and a beer - where good times flow as easily as the conversation with great freinds. ____ @threetailsbrewery threetailsbrewery.com.au 13A Lewis St, Mudgee FROM GROVE TO GRAZING TABLE Just outside Gulgong, Hillside Family Grove is a multi-generational farm producing figs, olives, and flavour-packed condiments with care, purpose, and plenty of heart. Run by a hands-on family team, their products are grown, harvested, and made entirely on-site - with everything from dukkah and fig paste to olive oil and syrup created to elevate simple meals into something truly special. Working with regenerative farming and permaculture principles, the family believes that healthy soil grows better food - and their thriving trees, rich with birdlife and seasonal fruit, are proof of just that. Every jar, bottle, and blend is crafted with attention to detail and a love for the land it came from. Featured on our Fired Up for Summer cover shoot, Hillside’s fig syrup, honeycomb and dukkah add a gourmet touch to BBQ meats, cheese platters, salads and desserts - no effort required. Whether you drizzle, sprinkle or serve it with a smile, their produce brings flavour and story to the table. ____ Find them at Mudgee markets, local stockists in Gulgong and Rylstone, or online at hillsidefamilygrove.com.au
