Beaconsfield's new brewery opens this week

Plus a pop-up beach club is opening in Sorrento, and more.

October 20, 2025

There’s no more telling sign that summer is on its way then when we start talking about beachside hangs and venue openings, of which you’ll find plenty below. From Beaconsfield’s new brewery, Sorrento’s pop-up beach club and the return of Scarborough Sunsets Markets to Thursday nights, the sunny (and silly) season will be here before we know it.

Never miss a drop: Ripple is now brewing in Beaconsfield

Sometimes the universe delivers you some pretty spectacular timing. For example, the first time we popped down to new Beaconsfield brewery and taproom Ripple… Well, it was during that diabolical stretch of wild, wet weather – horizontal rain, wind howling through our bones.

Not exactly the perfect timing for an ice cold beer soaking up the late afternoon sun.

But, the universe delivers – the skies are no longer falling, the sun is shining, and the taproom is set to officially open their doors! Hallelujah.

THE LATEST FROM PERTH IS OK!
