Willie the Boatman's Tenth Beer and Food Truck Festival

Overview

If you love craft beer, add this event to your roster. Beloved Inner West craft brewery Willie the Boatman is celebrating its tenth Beer and Food Truck Festival in Precinct 75 on Saturday, October 28, from 11am until 5pm.

Slinging beers since 2014, Willie the Boatman has been at the forefront of Sydney's craft beer scene, scoring numerous accolades in its storied existence. The brewery is committed to promoting a sense of community, which is brought to life by its practice of naming its beers after friends and local legends — like the 'Andy Smash' hazy pale and 'Albo' pale ale.

This year, the beer peddlers are spreading the craft beer love by spotlighting a range of regional NSW breweries. This year will see Six String trekking down from Central Coast, Seeker Brewing heading up from Wollongong, Stoic from Gerringong and Social Brewers from Mortdale, allowing Sydney craft beer lovers to explore the creativity of brewers outside the city craft beer scene.

There will be an array of gourmet food trucks on site to keep punters well-fuelled, including woodfired pizzas from That's Amore, scrumptious burgers and truffle fries from Jinny Burger, vegan and vegetarian eats from Vejoe, and many more.

The festival has something for all the family, with a kids' play area that includes a jumping castle and free face painting. Your furry friends are welcome as well.

You can't have a party without some tunes. Vibes and live music will be provided by classic bar band The Pragmatics, who will perform live in the festival centre.

Willie the Boatman's tenth Beer and Food Truck Festival is taking over Precinct 75 on Saturday, October 28, from 11am until 5pm. Tickets cost $15 and are available to book on the website.
