In Lieu of a Beer Festival Festival

Overview

If you're a Brisbanite who's fond of a beer, you've probably already noticed something missing from this month: Brewsvegas, Brisbane's citywide beer fest, which hasn't poured brews from taps around town since 2020. What's a Brissie beer lover to do instead when they're keen on a brew this March? Head to Brewski's In Lieu of a Beer Festival Festival.

This fest's name says all that it has to, because this is the kind of event that a bar throws when there's no Brewsvegas on the calendar. On the menu is a heap of beer — obviously — from Tuesday, March 1–Wednesday, March 30. Expect special tipples and returning yeasty favourites aplenty, as well as themed events that'll get you doing more than just sinking pints.

At Pastry vs Pastry on Saturday, March 12, for instance, you'll drink pastry stouts and pastry sours while eating pastries from Flour and Chocolate. Or, head back on Saturday, March 19 for the opposite kind of event — pairing gluten-free brews with gluten-free snacks.

A paint and slurp session is also on the bill, and so is a celebration of all things stouty.

Some events are ticketed, so check out the full lineup before making a beer date.
