The Taste Bundaberg Festival celebrates the region’s vibrant food producers and chefs with over 30 events across the Bundaberg food bowl.
This month we share the stories of our Local Taste Ambassadors, and what makes them passionate about growing, producing and cooking in the Bundaberg Region.
Tash and Ant from 384 North Brewing share their story
How long have you been producing in the Bundaberg Region?
We have been in the Bundaberg hospitality industry since 2015 when we started our restaurant.
The transition into just brewing became evident when we couldn’t keep up with supply for our customer base.
The decision to leave our restaurant and move our business from Bargara to Svensson Heights was exciting and challenging at the same time.
Now that we are open to the public at our new location since November 2023, it has been fun creating new styles of beers and meeting new customers.
What do you love about living in the Bundaberg food bowl?
Bundaberg is unique as it has the best fresh fruit and vegetables by far.
The beautiful landscapes that meet the ocean are breathtaking.
What would you like to tell visitors about the region’s vibrant fresh produce?
I tell visitors about loads of local fresh producers in the area and let them know which are selling direct to customer at their farm gate.
Where is your business located and what is the best part about it?
Our business is located at Svensson Heights on Brickworks Circuit.
We are the only locally owned and full producing craft brewery in Bundaberg.
How are you involved in Taste Bundaberg Festival this year?
This year we have a few exciting events coming up.
Our event at our brewery is the Artisan Local Craft Beer and HSG Yagoona BBQ.
We are pairing some brews with The Bundaberg Whiskey Club at The Garden Mill and Farmers Markets.
What’s your favourite thing to cook using local fresh produce?
We love using fresh local fruit in some of our beer recipes.
We love to support local.
