00:00It's been several years since the commercial hotel in Brim poured what many thought would be its last beer.
00:05The owners were no longer able to run the business and a search for a buyer went unanswered so the pub closed.
00:10But in 2023 new life was brought to Brim. New owners Barb and Stephen Dunnelly and Alan Crane from Gippsland bought the pub.
00:19The trio spent six months renovating, painting inside and out and replacing the fridges and wiring and all that had deteriorated over the years.
00:27And in June 2024 the door to the Brim Hotel swung open once again.
00:32It's so exciting. The main reason is it's given the community the ability to reconnect.
00:40They come together on a Thursday or a Friday or a Saturday and they just talk and it's the nicest thing.
00:49It's been our biggest joy of starting the pub up again.
