Armakeggon 2025

Overview

Looking for the buzz of Oktoberfest without the $2k flights to Europe and back? Then Brisbane's longest running craft beer festival may just be what you're looking for. Armakeggon 2025 returns on Saturday, August 16, bringing a full day dedicated to craft beer, elevated pub fare and live entertainment. 

Hosted by Archive Beer Boutique, guests can explore a tap lineup featuring 31 breweries, including Common Ground, Archer Brewing, Stone & Wood, Young Henrys, Wolf of the Willows, Balter, Bridge Road Brewers and many more.  

The country-themed menu will go perfectly alongside your pint, while an 11am live performance from Farmer Wants A Wife star Jarrad Wrigley will set the tone for the rest of the day. Wrigley will then be back again at 3.30pm to grace the Armagekkon stage with a soundtrack of country bangers.

Of course, there will be plenty of entertainment while those beers are flowing, including competitive eater and TikTok sensation James Webb (aka J Webby Can Eat). At 1.30pm, Webb will be attempting the Armakeggon Burger Tower, a stacked creation that includes a giant jalapeño popper, two cheeseburgers, two chicken burgers, the large Archive Banger Burger and a huge serving of fries. With 1.8 million followers on TikTok and seven Guinness World Records under his belt, this will be a challenge to behold (or avoid if you're squeamish).

VIP early-bird tickets start at $75, which includes early 10am entry, a tasting paddle of four beers, a bacon and egg roll, plus exclusive event merchandise. For the regular punters, entry is free after 11am. So strap in for a long day of beers, live music and bites, and make sure to arrive thirsty.
