WHAT. A. NIGHT !!!!!!!!

The Jag the Joker jackpot went off tonight, with local legend Jodie Pickton-Caton finding the Joker and taking home the prize!

Jodie had the choice of 15 slabs of beer or $725 cash… and let’s just say there were plenty of smiles all round. 🍺💰

A huge congratulations to Jodie and thank you to everyone who joined us for another fantastic Friday night at the Lake Bolac Hotel & Brewery.

If you weren’t here tonight, make sure you’re in the pub next week – you never know when your luck might be in!

A little surprise in this week’s The Ararat Advocate !

A big thank you to The Ararat Advocate and to whoever gave the Lake Bolac Hotel & Brewery a “Thumbs Up” in this week’s paper.

“To the Lake Bolac Pub for accommodating our big group at late notice.”

We genuinely appreciate the recognition. Country pubs are all about community, and we’re always happy to do our best to look after locals, travellers, sporting groups, families and anyone passing through our beautiful part of western Victoria.

As the weather cools down, there’s no better time to visit Lake Bolac. Warm fires, hearty meals, cold beers, great company and good old-fashioned country hospitality are waiting for you.

If you’re planning a winter road trip, heading through the region, or just looking for an excuse to get out of town for the day, we’d love to welcome you.

Thanks again for the kind words and ongoing support. ❤️

Good food, a warm pub, and a perfect excuse to escape the cold. See you at the Lake Bolac Hotel & Brewery.

We thought this would resonate with a lot of people in our community, especially after two years of fires at our doorstep, droughts and F’all Gov support in the tough times !

At the mercy of the “weather gods”, working on the land is hard yakka. So, what keeps sixth-generation farmer Rob Armstrong going?

Sheep farmer Rob Armstrong never expected to be the face of political resistance. But when his state government proposed a levy that would hit volunteer country firefighters, a childhood trauma propelled him into action.
