Newcastle’s big thing introduced in April 2026 is a collaboration with the Good Folk Brewing Company and Club Kotara. The Big Beer Can represents a can of the brewery’s Danny’s Wedge TPA.
It isn’t a traditional big thing, in that it utilised an existing cylinder-shaped part of the Club Kotara building and made to look like a beer can, rather than a specially designed and built thing. It was done as part of the club’s major transformation.
Measuring 11 metres tall, it is taller than Cobar’s Big Beer Can
