The Railway Hotel in Gunnedah and the Commercial Hotel in Boggabri are both taking part in the Let It Pour campaign, which will see all proceeds from Great Northern beers sold go to the Rotary Clubs of Australia Drought Relief Appeal.
The campaign will be held at the Railway Hotel this Friday and Saturday, and at the Commercial Hotel next Saturday, November 2.
Great Northern Brewing Co has donated 1000 kegs across Australia and more than 220 pubs and clubs across the state are taking part.

Commercial Hotel publican Britt Poole said the campaign was something she couldn't say no to, with Boggabri such a drought affected area.
"It's an easy campaign to get on board with, and it's something people in the community will support and understand and relate to," Mrs Poole said.
The publican said they were holding a family fun event from 5pm on the Saturday to further raise funds for the appeal.
Locals are encouraged to dress up in Halloween costumes, with prizes for the best dressed.
The event will feature yabby races, where each yabby will be auctioned off, and an outdoor cinema for the kids. There will also be games, competitions and raffles.
Rotary will run a sausage sizzle for those wanting a delicious feed.
All funds will go to the Rotary's drought relief appeal.
