TONIGHT. ONE LAST FARKING RIOT ON BROOK ST. 🤘🍺

This is it.

The last punk, hardcore, grunge & alt-rock night Brook Street will ever see.

And apparently everyone got the memo.

🔥 Pets R.I.P.
🔥 Therapy of Spÿders
🔥 Toowoomba Revamped Roofing: The Band
🔥 Raw Meat
🔥 Kathleen Turner Overdrive
🔥 Razerbak
🔥 Grubscrew

Doors 5PM. Going till late.
100% FREE. ALL AGES.

We all jam until we can rob banks and not leave fingerprints.

And because we're supposed to be drinking the brewery dry, we've somehow put beer back in it.

🍺 Whimsical Willow — NEIPA
🍺 Great White Dank — IPA
🍺 Drifter — Extra Stout
🍺 Plus a few special MPB kegs dragged back into existence for tonight and tomorrow.

No saving them for next week.

There is no next week.

One last filthy, loud, ridiculous Friday night at Mouse Proof Brook Street.

LET'S. DRINK. IT. DRY. 🤘🐭🍺

CALLING ALL FRIENDS OF MPB!

Past, present, new, old, musos, regulars, brewers, artists and assorted hangers-on...

We need some hands.

Brook Street is being reverse-engineered, and we're calling in the Friends of MPB for two final Sunday working bees.

We're closed to the public, so this one's just for the crew on the day!

With food and beer provided, obviously. We're not farking animals! 😜

Come swing a hammer. Carry something. Unscrew something. Stand around offering unsolicited engineering advice.

Whatever your skill level, come claim your little piece of Brook Street history.

Want in? DM us on Facebook or Instagram to register.

🔨 Sun 23 + Sun 30 August
⏰ 10am — gentleman's hours

Many hands make light work.
MPB hands make questionable decisions. 🍺

WEEK 2 — HOLD MY STUPIDLY STRONG BEER

Ever tried dismantling a brewery while it’s still open?

Yeah. Neither had we.

Turns out it’s exactly as chaotic as it sounds.

We’re packing up MPB bit by bit while still pouring beers, serving food, and throwing live music like nothing’s happening.

The venue is shrinking.
The beer list is getting weirder.
Things you swear were here last week… might not be anymore.

But somehow, the party is getting bigger.

Welcome to Week 2 of:

“Hold my beer.”

Actually…

Hold my stupidly strong beer. Watch this.

And because apparently that’s not enough chaos, we’re doing the most.

FRIDAY — IMPROMPTU RAVE

Yep. A rave. At Mouse Proof.

NIK RIOT + LOCAL DJs
DnB • Garage • Tech House

We’re testing how much of the brewery is still structurally sound.

SATURDAY — WE GET CULTURED

2–5PM — BRENDA KELLY & KYLE JENKINS
Two album launches. One disappearing brewery.

Then at 6PM…

ROSCO’S JAZZ, FUNK & GROOVE JAM

Jazz. Funk. Groove.
Musicians in. Furniture maybe out. Nobody knows.

Brook Street is in its final weeks as MPB’s home, and we’re going all in.

Come while it’s still beautifully chaotic.
You won’t see MPB like this again.

And when Brook Street goes quiet?

We won’t.

MPB isn’t finished — we’re just rebuilding it into something bigger.

But first:

Rave Friday.
Albums Saturday.
Jazz, funk & groove Saturday night.

Hold my stupidly strong beer.
Watch this.

WE'RE DRINKING THE BREWERY DRY!

Some of you have noticed the beer list getting... suspiciously short.

Nope. We haven't forgotten how to brew.

We're drinking the brewery.

After FIVE years of turning a freezing cold, leaking, gloriously weird industrial building into one of the most unique little venues around, Brook Street is entering its final chapter for Mouse Proof Brewing.

So every keg that empties now isn't getting replaced.

Every tap that kicks is one less thing to move.

Every piece of equipment that disappears means another part of the brewery has already started its journey to wherever this ridiculous adventure takes us next.

Over the next four weekends you'll literally watch MPB reverse-engineer itself.

One week there'll be another fermenter gone.

Next week another wall will be emptier.

By the last night it'll feel like we're trying to run a brewery out of whatever we forgot to load onto the trailer.

And honestly...
..that's exactly the sort of stupid challenge we'd give ourselves.

This week could be the last Open Mic ever at Brook Street.

Come make some noise with us.

Let's send this place off the only way MPB knows how.

With great people.
Questionable decisions.
And beer that's disappearing faster than our furniture.

This isn't the end of Mouse Proof Brewing.

This is just the end of this chapter.

ANZAC DAY

We’ll be open from 12 noon this ANZAC Day.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this one. And it's only been released today because we don't want to capitalise on something so sacred. The service. The sacrifice. However, we must remember them, and this is my way of doing this in 2026.

That man in these photos is my grandfather.
Same name. Same blood. A man I grew up around, but only ever really understood in pieces. He never spoke much about his service.

Like a lot of them, the important parts stayed quiet.
I knew he’d been in the Army.

I couldn't imagine him being a secret agent in Vietnam, or leading the search for the Harold Holt Bolt; Australia's most innocuous faux pas as a prime minister.

None of that is what I remember most, though.
I remember sitting with him.
I remember the way he carried himself.
I remember the stories he would tell (in a hushed voice about mates, about moments, about the absurdity that somehow sits alongside hardship.
And I remember wanting to be like him, long before I understood what that actually meant.
ANZAC Day, for me, sits somewhere in that space.
It’s not just about the history we’re taught.
It’s about the people we knew.
The ones who came back, and the ones who didn’t.
The quiet strength. The humour. The things that don’t fit neatly into ceremony.
Even the small, ridiculous moments—like stuffing something up so badly in training that you’re carrying a teddy bear around for a week as a grown man.
At the time it feels like the end of the world.
Looking back, it’s part of the story.
And that’s what stays.
This year, we’ll have a few things happening—some music, a chance to sit, have a drink, and talk if you feel like it.
If you’ve served, or you carry that in your family, we’ll look after you.
That part matters.
We’ll also pass a hat around for the RSL.
It’s a small gesture, but it’s something.
Mostly though, it’s about taking a moment.
To remember.
To listen.
To share the stories—especially the ones that don’t get written down.
Because without those people, and what they carried, none of what we have now exists.
