BeerFest Brisbane 2020
Australia's longest running beer festival is heading to Brisbane for the first time — with hundreds of brews in tow.
Overview
It's taken a heck of a long time — 12 years, to be exact — but, having become a permanent fixture on the summer events calendar for Fremantle, Launceston, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth, BeerFest is finally hitting Brisbane in 2020.
The festival is set to descend on Victoria Park on Saturday, March 14, in a heady blaze of music, comedy, food and, of course, beer. For its frothy Brisbane debut, BeerFest will round up over 40 artisanal breweries and deliver hundreds of craft drops, all alongside a stack of great ciders, cocktails and wines. You'll kick off the season with tastings, food and beer matchings, and free, brewer-led masterclasses showcasing one-off creations.
While the brewer list is yet to be announced, previous events interstate have featured 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 also packs a serious punch in the entertainment department — and while it's yet to drop the full bill there as well, Art vs Science will be headlining the whole thing. They'll also team up with Burnley Brewing and CryerMalt to create their own one-off beer, which you'll obviously be able to drink at the festival.
There'll be plenty of laughs to be had, too, all thanks to the BeerFest Brisbane comedy stage.
The on-sale date for tickets is yet to be announced; however expect entry to the festival to range between $20–50.
