@backbone_brisbane festival is coming up very very soon in October. I went along to check out their preview night at @27southbrewing in Coorparoo. The festival looks like it will have some fun and interesting young acts worth checking out including the next development of @maximossman’s work A DROP TOO MANY at @anywherefestbrisbane a couple of years ago. Congrats to everyone involved 👍 … and if you are looking for an award winning beer maker definitely head to @27southbrewing for a lookseedrink #backbonefestival by @anywherefestivals
