When the Mountain Goat Valley Crawl kicked off in 2016, it did so in simple but great style. Recognising that the key to many a good night out is a multi-venue itinerary, it made hopping between Fortitude Valley's finest hangouts a streamlined, well-organised yet still laidback experience — with brews aplenty and an ace live music soundtrack.

Come 2021, the sprawling music and beer festival will still be going strong — even after the events of the past year. On Saturday, February 6, attendees can jump between ten Valley spots to see a huge heap of interstate and local artists.

The simultaneous sonic fun takes place at The Brightside (both indoors and outdoors), Black Bear Lodge, The Outpost, The Foundry, Ric's Backyard, O'Skulligans, Greaser, Blutes and The Zoo. As always, the agenda includes running between each to sip frosty beverages and catch crackin' sets, with the entertainment once again sponsored by a brewery.

The whole shindig kicks off at 5pm, so the only thing left for you to do is clear your calendar for an ace day of tunes, brews and hopping around the Valley. Well, that and wait for the lineup.
