Flow Festival
This new — and free — online festival is all about alcohol-free craft beers.
Overview
Beer festivals usually follow a familiar template. Attendees wander between different brewery stalls, taste beer, buy beer, drink beer and talk about beer with brewing experts. Then, they drink more beer. And, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that — when something works, it works.
Running from 12pm on Sunday, July 26, Flow Festival is adding a few differences to the above formula. Firstly, it's happening online. Also, joining in the virtual fun is free. Most importantly, however, this fest is all about alcohol-free craft brews.
Whether you're doing Dry July, you're not actually that fond of boozy beverages all the time, you just can't do another hangover or you have health reasons for avoiding the sauce, you'll find plenty of inspiration at this debut event — with breweries such as Sobah, Upflow Brewing Collective, Holsten and Coopers celebrating and showcasing their alcohol-free IPAs, stouts and pilsners. Folks from Sobah, Upflow and Coopers will also join a panel discussion about beer sans booze, if you're eager to find out more about the topic.
And, yes, you can still drink along. It is still a beer fest, after all. Flow Festival is also doing $160 festival packs (which contain 48 cans of alcohol-free beer) that you can order in advance and sip your way through on the day — including in guided tastings run by the brewers themselves.
Flow Festival runs from 12pm on Sunday, July 26 — and while streaming along is free, registration is required.
