A brand new brewery has landed in Gladesville and the head brewer is a traditionally trained German Brewmaster – so you know your frothy beers will be legit. Founded by experienced homebrewer Dan Smith, Village Days Brewing Co aims to bring together Ryde locals for fresh local beer and fun times. This Oktoberfest weekend the brewery will be hosting celebrations including pouring two specialty German beers. Prost!
