Brisbane Beer Fest 2016

Overview

Thirsty? If you're not now, you will be once you've read this. That's the only appropriate reaction to a festival of beer, after all. Just think of all the amber liquids and foamy goodness.

Okay, enough drooling; here are the important details every ale lover needs: more than 130 beers and ciders will be on offer, plus an international food court. To set the mood for two full days of booze and food, there'll also be live music from none other than Daryl Braithwaite and Shannon Noll. You don't turn a beer fest into a long weekend bonanza without calling in the pub rock big guns.

Eating and drinking might be the main attractions at Brisbane Beer Fest's 2016 outing, but this is also an event for those serious about their beverages too. Amid the tasting and the sampling of more tipples than you could dream of, you can also meet the folks behind 20-plus breweries and find out their tricks of the trade. If there's a beer heaven, this is it.
