SMALL BUSINESS SHOUT OUT: BUCKET BREWERY🍻
On a sunny Saturday afternoon, there are few better things than enjoying a masterfully crafted local b**r in a relaxed setting. So, today's shout out goes to Bucket Brewery in South Kempsey!
Owners Sam and Amanda Preston launched their home-grown b**r brand in 2015, eventually transforming the old Cavanagh bus depot a couple of years later into a relaxed 'cellar door' experience where visitors could come and see how their award winning b**r was made and grab a few takeaways.
Since then, the venue has continued to expand and gain popularity. With live music, food trucks and event bookings, the humble brewery has become a tourist draw card.
I'll admit, it's a favourite end-of-day pit stop when I'm in the Macleay. A wonderful family run and owned business serving up great quality b**r made from local ingredients. And if you're not in Kempsey, don't worry, Bucket B**r is available in top restaurants and retailers right across the Mid North Coast. A testament to Sam & Amanda's hard work.
📍2 Prince St, South Kempsey NSW 2440
