Grazeland's BBQ Beer Festival

Overview

If Dad's got a thing for charred meats and crafty brews, we reckon he'd be pretty stoked to join you at Grazeland's next weekend-long food fest. The Spotswood food precinct is getting into the Father's Day spirit with its inaugural BBQ Beer Festival, running from Friday, September 2–Sunday, September 4.

The weekend's food lineup is a meat-lover's dream, with lots of Grazeland's vendors set to serve up special barbecue-inspired eats for the occasion. Expect a plethora of smoked meats, along with a globe-trotting array of grilled goodies from the likes of Flaming Skewers, El Gaucho, Zuya African BBQ, Mr Toum Lebanese Grill and Grillin Greeks.

To wash it down, there'll be a dedicated beer zone pouring drops from hyped local breweries including Little Creatures, White Rabbit and Two Birds. Try sips like Henry St Brewhouse's smoked German lager, and Hop Nation's limited-release Rocky Road Stout and major award-winning Get the Gist Hazy IPA.

Those looking for a bit of beer-ducation can catch a masterclass — maybe a guided lesson in beer and barbecue pairing, or a deep-dive into sours and hazy IPAs.

And as always, there'll be plenty of live tunes and DJs across the weekend, ranging from soft rock, to classic backyard barbecue tracks.

Entry to Grazeland is $4, with the festival running 5–10pm Friday, 12–10pm Saturday and 12–9pm Sunday.
