Set Your Aussie Adventure Free. Stone & Wood is giving away $50K in Travel Grants to 5 lucky people.
We all dream of stepping outside our comfort zone and embarking on a wild outdoor adventure that gives us bragging rights from now through retirement.
But too often, we file those dreams under ‘maybe one day’ and before we know it the ‘let’s go’ spirit turns into a slightly deflated ‘should have gone’ attitude.
It was this realisation that sparked an idea amongst the Stone & Wood team:
What if we could help give people the nudge to make that ‘maybe one day’ adventure actually happen?
We are beyond thrilled to introduce the Stone & Wood Adventure Fund — an initiative to keep the Australian adventure spirit alive by giving five people a $10,000 grant each to chase their wildest Aussie travel dreams!
Between 1 October 2024 - 31 January 2025 we are putting the call out and we want to hear from you. What’s your dream Australian adventure? Swimming with whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef? Sailing around the country or maybe get on a bike and ride across it? Would you go canyoning in the Blue Mountains or surfing at Snapper, or Byron Bay? It’s time to fire up your imagination and think big!
Alongside the five $10,000 travel grants, we also have amazing prizes up for grabs, from Wildearth, Sea to Summit, Sahara and Dometic, to be won at participating venues and bottleshops.
The Adventure Fund will run throughout the Aussie summer, from 1 October to 31 January.
To enter, simply purchase a Stone & Wood beer at any bottle shop or venue where it’s available, and tell us where you want to go and why. It’s as easy as that.
Five lucky winners will soon embark on an ultimate adventure, thanks to Stone & Wood, with the all-action captured and shared across the brewery’s channels.
Head to the competition page and tell us your dream Aussie adventure to enter now!
Grab a brew and start planning your ultimate Aussie escape.
Adventure is calling, and we’ve got $50,000 worth of epic journeys to give away! Tell us your dream Aussie adventure for a chance to win 1 of 5 $10K trips.
The Backpack West Coast IPA
Knapsack rangers and rucksack jockeys, set your wanderlust free with the The Backpack West Coast IPA. This bright, tropical and sessionable brew captures the essence of coastal adventures and the spirit of collaboration. The Backpack beer is the big and juicy second instalment of our partnership with the crew at Mountain Culture. Inspired by their bold American brewing techniques and our shared origin in, and passion for, vibrant backpack towns this approachable 6% ABV tipple is brewed with Idaho, Amarillo and Galaxy hops and bursts with flavours of mango, citrus and stone fruit.
The Backpack West Coast IPA has you covered from the mountains to the sea and is brewed with your inner nomad in mind.
From The Mountains To The Sea – The Spirit of Collaboration
When our brewers met DJ, the Mountain Culture head brewer it was a match made in hop-heaven. Originally from Asheville, North Carolina, DJ refined his craft in Colorado before taking his love for fresh beer and crisp mountain air to the Blue Mountains of Katoomba, NSW.
We quickly bonded over a shared passion for epic nature, good times and even better beers – and it was not long before the idea of a collab was inevitable. With both Mountain Culture and Stone & Wood hailing from quaint backpacker towns filled with colourful characters and vibrant energies, the stage was set for an epic, two-part collaboration. Our journey began with a team visit to the Blue Mountains and resulted in the mountain edition of the Backpack Ale, where the Mountain Culture brewers gave us their beautiful twist on the Original Pacific Ale.
A few short months later, it was our turn to bring the MC team from the peaks to the sea with our own creation – The Backpack Westcoast IPA. We spent a few stunning days together finding waves and swapping brewing tales while blending American and Australian hops into this beautiful spin on their big, delicious IPAs.
Being our first-ever brewery collab, we could not be more honoured and excited to team up with the amazingly skilled and epically awesome crew at Mountain Culture.
With their influence and our shared passion for great brewing, we think this beer is nothing short of extraordinary. Enjoy!
