Crafted Beer Festival
Broadbeach's beachside beer festival is back for another spring with 400-plus brews and live music.
Overview
Held at Kurrawa Park in Broadbeach each year, Crafted Beer Festival will unite a heap of Australia's top craft breweries, over 400 different brews, and some good food and live music to line your stomachs and ears when it returns for 2024. The date to pop in your diary: Saturday, September 14.
In past years, locals such as Balter Brewing Company, Black Hops Brewing, Currumbin Valley Brewing, Burleigh Barrels, Madocke Beer and Two Mates Brewing have joined up with visitors from elsewhere in Queensland and interstate, such as Ballistic, Slipstream and Revel — and that's but a few of the many beer houses that are represented on the day. More of a cider person? Expect a range of cideries making the pilgrimage to the coast, too.
Food-wise, there'll be food trucks and other street food eats. Fingers crossed for truffle gnocchi, German sausages, paella, Brazilian barbecue, low-and-slow meat plates, brisket burgers, Mexican bites and seafood dishes — aka a hearty spread.
As well as live tunes, usually on the fest's agenda is beer yoga, where you can perform a few downward dogs before you down your beer — it's all about balance, after all. Or, if the lineup mimics past years, enjoy some comedy, play tipsy Twister and enter a hot wing-eating contest instead.
