At this time of the year there aren’t many better places in this fine land to settle in for a beer. It’s a steep climb up from the beach to the bar at the Pacific Hotel in Yamba, but it’s a great way to add a bit of sweat to the drying salt water on your back. By the time you get to the bar you’re more than ready to blow the froth off a refreshing beer. It’s no surprise that the Pacific is going through a bit of Stone & Wood at the moment, with both Draught Ale and Pale Lager on tap you are spoilt for choice. Relaxing with a cold beer as you look out over the blue of the Pacific Ocean is just priceless … well apart from the cost of the schooner of course.
