Pickle Fest 2022

Overview

They're just humble cucumbers left to ferment in vinegar, but pickles certainly get plenty of attention. We love them on sandwiches, and to munch on individually. We love drinking whisky, then chasing it down with a shot of pickle brine. Sometimes, folks even make beer that showcases the zesty pickle flavour.

If you're fond of all of the above, then get your pickle-loving self to Pickle Fest. Hosted by The Woods Bar, the event celebrates its eponymous ingredient in a whole range of guises. In other words, it's an excuse to eat pickles, drink pickle brine and sip pickle-flavoured brews. And, to eat reuben sandwiches, aka the go-to food when anyone thinks of pickles (and a great way to line your stomach, too).

Also on the menu: deep-fried pickled jalapeños galore, as well as loaded bloody marys. Obviously, if you don't like that sour, tart, put-a-spring-in-your-step pickle taste, this fest isn't for you — but if you can't get enough of it, head to Mitchelton from 12pm on Sunday, February 20.

The one-day festival takes place on Sunday, December 1, with the Mitchelton watering hole getting into the pickled spirit from from 11am.
