Queensland Beer Week 2017

Overview

When an event champions the best brews Brisbane and the rest of the Sunshine State have to offer, we'll forgive them for deciding that ten days equals one week. Maybe they're just trying to go a few better than The Beatles? Maybe the powers-that-be had had a few when they set the dates? Maybe there's just too much amber alcohol to consume in a shorter period?

Either way, you can certainly chat about all of the above as you work your way around town tasting all of the glorious drinks Queensland Beer Week is serving up. And there's two ways to go about it: simply head to a pub, bar or other booze-fuelled spot that's getting in on the action, or get in on some of the official party shenanigans.

The latter gets started with an official launch party that's also a four-day festival showcasing more than 60 brews, so you know they'll really be showing the local love. Or, head along to a hopucation evening on the Sunshine Coast, a craft beer and cider fest that's also on the Sunshine Coast, or a brew-filled barbie in Toowoomba, and take your love of brews out of town.
