4 Pines brews up fresh venues

The marriage of beer and bread is the catalyst behind the expansion of a new arm to booming northside group 4 Pines.

The success of the stout bread at its Manly Brewhouse has seen the group nab space at the Glen Street Theatre in Belrose, where it'll open a brunch-to-dinner venue in early 2017, specialising in beer and bread.

The group also confirmed it has taken the former site of Out of Africa in Manly. In coming months they'll open 4 Pines Manly Underground in the space, a seven-day venue. And there's more.

Newport is the chosen suburb for a venue devoted specifically to barrel-aged beers. 4 Pines Newport Barrelhouse will slide into 313 Barrenjoey Road, with a launch planned for November.
