POPULAR Darwin business Beaver Brewery has applied for an extension to its liquor licence that would allow it to trade every day from 10am to midnight, with hopes of hosting more events and preparing for future expansion.
While owner Chris Brown said there were no immediate plans to change the current operating hours – fortnightly on a Friday during the wet season and every Friday and Saturday during the Dry – it would save the brewery time in writing an application for every event they held outside regular hours.
“We want an extension so we can open at any time,” he said.
“Down the track, definitely Thursdays are on the cards, but at the moment we’re very hamstrung with what we can do.

“It’s more to give us a bit of flexibility in the business. It saves us having to do an extra application every time we have an event here.”
Mr Brown said it would help the business ease into different types of one-off events like beer tastings for groups.
“It’s more a time of the year,” he said.
“We have a lot of Christmas parties over the wet season holiday period and a lot of birthdays in the middle of the year, during the dry season.
“We might not necessarily open every day, but if we’re able to, when a group comes along and wants to have a tasting or a special event, we’re able to do that.”
