Brewers and winemakers have shown their willingness to support a worthy cause with significant donations being accepted by Orana for their silent auction, which will occur during their upcoming 60th birthday celebrations on Friday 3rd of December.
While Swanee and Amity Dry rock the South Australian Jockey Club, guests and supporters will be able to bid for a vast range of collectables such as a magnum of 2007 Vintage Ale from Coopers Brewery signed by Dr.Tim, Glenn and Melanie Cooper, or a Growler (2 litre bottle) of special edition Lobethal Bierhaus double hopped India Pale Ale.
