If you’re feeling thirsty, you’ll want to try the special International Women’s Day beers, brewed especially for the occasion by the women of Stone & Wood, with the help of many of the local female creatives featuring in the event.

In the summer of January 2025, the women all pitched in to put this years’ special International Women’s Day beers into the tanks. They brewed a 5.2% Japanese Rice Lager, which will be released on Shift The Frame Byron event night and a tart and refreshing 4% Raspberry / Blueberry Sour for the Brisbane event.

Alongside this inaugural International Women’s Day event, for the month of March, Stone & Wood will donate $1 per litre of beer sold at the venues in Byron Bay and Brisbane to not-for-profit charities SHIFT Project and ZONTA.

SHIFT Project, based in Byron Bay, supports women through the challenges they face moving from homelessness to independence, from welfare to wellbeing.

ZONTA Club of Brisbane empowers local women and girls through fundraising and service projects, responding to the many challenges women face.

So be sure to drop in to Shift The Frame at Stone & Wood, Brisbane and Byron Bay on 6 March, or come have a beer any time in March to support these charities.
