Overview

2018 isn't even two months old, and it's already been a great year for Queensland beers. The Gold Coast's Balter Brewing Company took out top spot in the GABS Aussie craft beer list, and Brisbane's Murarrie was chosen as the site of BrewDog's first Australian brewery. Yes, you should be pouring yourself a cold one, taking a moment and saying cheers.

The next thing worth celebrating? It's Brewsvegas, of course — and getting merry with a beverage in your hand is well and truly on the agenda. Returning for its fifth year, the yeast and hops-focused festival will spread the beer love in every bar, pub and watering hole across the city from March 10 to 18. It'll also host a pre-fest pool party on February 17 and a launch shindig on March 9, because containing all of the fun within nine days is just impossible.

Also on the agenda: doggo-friendly drinking sessions, handball tournaments, monster movie nights, zombie-themed recovery parties, Aussie brewing celebrations, state-specific showcases, cities made out of cardboard, tiki shindigs, tours, talks, classes, dinners, degustations and more. No wonder it's all paired with brews aplenty — with more than 70 events at 50 locations, you're going to need it to get through what's certain to be a massive fest.
