BeerFest St Kilda 2019
Australia's longest running beer festival returning to Melbourne — with 300 brews in tow.
Overview
BeerFest has become permanent fixture on Australia's summer events calendar, and this year it returns for its eleventh year.
The festival is set to descend on St Kilda's Catani Gardens on Saturday, March 2 in a heady blaze of music, comedy, food and, of course, beer. BeerFest will round up over 40 artisan breweries, delivering huge lineup of 300 craft drops, alongside a stack of great ciders, cocktails and wines. You'll kick off summer with a day of tastings, food and beer matchings, and free, brewer-led masterclasses showcasing one-off creations.
Some of the breweries you should expect to see on the day include Melbourne's Henry Street Brewhouse and Urban Alley Brewing, Sydney's Young Henrys and Sauce Brewing Co, and the ACT's BentSpoke.
What's more, this little shindig is also packing a serious punch in the entertainment department, with an impressive musical lineup featuring Sneaky Sound System, Addy Murphy and Philip Island's Emma Volard.
Entry to the festival is $32, which gets you access to the day's full swag of live entertainment. Drinks will be extra — expect to pay $1–2 for 100ml tastings or $6–8 for a 285ml pour.
BeerFest runs from 1–8pm.
