Brisbane Gin Festival 2022

Overview

If gin's your thing, that undying love is being pushed front-and-centre at your new favourite event: the Brisbane Gin Festival. Hosted by the Australian Gin Distillers Association and headed to Lightspace for its 2022 go-around, the three-day festival will bring 27 craft gin distillers from around the country under one roof between Friday, May 13–and Sunday, May 15.

Apart from bottomless tastings, punters will also have the chance to chat directly with the makers. Stallholders will be hawking over 100 gins, including Never Never Distilling Co, Broken Heart Spirits and Prohibition Liquor Co, plus Gingle Bells, Australian Distilling Co, Wolf Lane and Nostferatu. And, once you've picked your favourite, you can purchase bottles for takeaway.

Tickets cost $70, with five tasting sessions to choose from: 1–4pm and 5–8pm on both Friday and Saturday, and just the 1–4pm session on Sunday.

While you'll clearly find plenty of gin on offer, there'll also be a coffee bar and snacks to fill your stomach — although they'll cost extra.
