Sydney Craft Beer Week 2016

Overview

The best, most beery week of the year is nearly upon us. Yes, Sydney Craft Beer Week is back again from Friday, October 21 through Sunday, October 30 — and, as always, we're all a-fluster trying to decide exactly how we're going to fit it all in (and still turn up to work each day). 

With over 100 events across more than 75 venues, the festival is Sydney's largest (formal) celebration of beer. The festivities will kick off with a huge opening gala at Giant Dwarf, which will run over two sessions (Friday evening and Saturday afternoon) and allow you to taste the beers local brewers have brewed specifically for the festival. Other highlights of the 2016 program include a Craft Beer Fight Club at the Dove & Olive, a beer history lesson at Bucket Boys and Beerlympics at the Lord Raglan.

In short, there's a lot of beer to drink. Pace yourself, and check out our top ten picks.
