Merino Brewery was founded and run by ex-military servicemen Lee Evans and Mark Palmer.
It opened its doors in Narellan in February of 2022.
As well as making great beer with a local and regional focus, the two founders’ aim was to create a space where locals can try something new and connect with mates.
Macarthur’s largest all-grain beer brewery has now come on board as a gold sponsor for Camden Council’s Boots n’ Beats on June 14.
As part of the sponsorship, Merino Brewery custom beer cans will be on offer at the popular country music festival.
“By designing a can for Boots n’ Beats we’re bringing a distinctive touch to the to the event – bringing people together, fostering a sense of unity and shared experience,” says Lee Evans.
“Sponsoring Boots n’ Beats allows us to support local culture and arts and connect with the community in a meaningful way.
“Being part of the wider Camden community means embracing a shared heritage, fostering connections, and contributing to the collective well-being of our locality.
“At Merino Brewery we cherish this community and are committed to making a lasting, positive impact through our craft beer and community-driven initiatives.”
Mayor of Camden, Cr Ashleigh Cagney, said she was excited to see the second event come to life, three years after the inaugural event was held in 2022.
“Events like this wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of local sponsors like Merino Brewery. We’re incredibly grateful for their commitment to giving back to our community,’’ Mayo Cagney said.
“Council is committed to exploring new ways we can work with local producers like Merino Brewery to showcase the amazing products and produce Camden has to offer.”
Boots n’ Beats will be held on Saturday, June 14, between 12 and 6pm, at Camden Bicentennial Equestrian Park.
