BeerFest Melbourne 2020
Australia's longest running beer festival returns to Melbourne — with hundreds of brews in tow.
Overview
BeerFest has become permanent fixture on Australia's summer events calendar — and, while it's not coming to Melbourne in 2019, it is returning in February 2020.
The festival is set to descend on St Kilda's Catani Gardens on Saturday, February 29, in a heady blaze of music, comedy, food and, of course, beer. For this year's Melbourne event, BeerFest will round up over 40 artisanal breweries and deliver hundreds of craft drops, all alongside a stack of great ciders, cocktails and wines. You'll kick off the season with tastings, food and beer matchings, and free, brewer-led masterclasses showcasing one-off creations.
While the brewer list is yet to be announced, last year's event featured Melbourne's Henry Street Brewhouse and Urban Alley Brewing, Sydney's Young Henrys and Sauce Brewing Co, and the ACT's BentSpoke.
What's more, this little shindig also packs a serious punch in the entertainment department — and while it's yet to drop the full bill there as well, Art vs Science will be headlining the whole thing. They'll also team up with Burnley Brewing and CryerMalt to create their own one-off beer, which you'll obviously be able to drink at the festival.
There'll be plenty of laughs to be had, too, with the BeerFest Melbourne comedy stage also set to return.
The on-sale date for tickets is yet to be announced; however expect entry to the festival to range between $20–50.
