Furphy Refreshing Ale outdoor cinema has returned to South Geelong’s Little Creatures Brewery.
The five-week cinema series began in January and continues this month, with patrons enjoying Australian classics like Chopper, Strictly Ballroom; Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Red Dog and Mad Max.
Furphy marketing manager Malcolm Eadie explained that the cinema complemented the character of the local brew, which was “all about storytelling and bringing people together over a beer“.
“And what better way to celebrate than inviting the good people of Geelong to come down and get among the outdoor cinema while enjoying some of the best Australian stories on offer,“ he said.
Moviegoers can also access the Little Creatures Canteen for pre-screening snacks or finger food to enjoy while watching the outdoor cinema from the comfort of a bean bag or deck chair.
“The brewery village has been transformed into what feels like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory but for beer,“ Eadie said.
“With the explosive growth of Furphy, we want to ensure we’re giving back to the community with local events and things to do. What better way to enjoy the summer weather than watching an Aussie classic at Geelong’s own brewery with your mates over some great food and beer.”
Gates to the cinema open at 7.30pm, with screening from 8.30pm each Wednesday until 28 February.
“The warmer months are the perfect time to get out and relax under the stars. We wanted to create a memorable experience through our outdoor cinema,” Eadie said.
Tickets cost $20 at eventbrite.com.au.
