“Having worked closely with the team and customers here, I am confident in the seamless blending of our operations. We are committed to retaining the beloved 4 Hearts brews on our menu,” said Anderson.
With the rebrand to Stony Creek Brewing, co-founder and event organiser, Karen Anderson, said that engaging with the Ipswich and Lockyer Valley communities was a top priority for the team.
