Queensland Beer Week
Not every launch party is held in a gaol — with a ghost tour.
Overview
When an event champions the best brews Brisbane and the rest of the Sunshine State have to offer, we'll forgive them for deciding that nine days equals one week. Maybe they're just trying to one-up The Beatles? Maybe the powers-that-be had had a few when they set the dates? Maybe there's just too much amber alcohol to consume in a shorter period?
Either way, you can certainly chat about all of the above as you work your way around town tasting all of the glorious drinks Queensland Beer Week is serving up. And there's two ways to go about it: simply head to a pub, bar or other booze-fuelled spot that's getting in on the action, or get in on some of the official party shenanigans.
The latter includes an official launch party at Boggo Road Gaol (complete with a ghost tour), craft brewery tours thanks to Hops & Brew, and an exclusive English summer ale on tap at Pig 'n' Whistle's six Brissie locations. Then, finish up your week of drinking with a session of Brews, BBQ and Beats at Riverside, aka the perfecting food, alcohol and music combination.
