CHEEKY GROG CO
Mark and Jenny Morey own and run the Cheeky Grog Co, producing top quality ciders with local fruit at their Bunbartha Cidery and Orchards, on the outskirts of Shepparton.
Cheeky is a crowd favourite at the Festival, with Cider Maker Lisa Morey on-hand to showcase their range. A perfect match for a summer's afternoon under the gums - especially when Lisa brings her Cider Slushies!

MOG BREW
The boys from Mog Brew, which was "born" at Moglonemby (near Euroa) are back in 2021, after a tricky year for small brewers. But they are experienced in the "tricky",..
"We’re no strangers to a near-miss and a stuff-up. We’re inspired by the many, many pickles we’ve found ourselves in. The many ways country life pulls the rug when you least suspect it.
We’re comfortable being put on our arse, and veterans at getting up again.
So we brew beer specially designed for dusting yourself off."
