BeerFest Sydney is making its debut at Darling Harbour’s Tumbalong Park on 6–7 December, bringing together NSW’s boutique vineyards, brewers, cideries, distillers, cheesemongers, local food producers and Sneaky Sound System.
Headlined by Sneaky Sound System and a Daft Punk Discovery Tribute Show, BeerFest brings live music, comedy, masterclasses and exclusive one-off brews in a harbourside setting to over 8,000 festival attendees.
“BeerFest is about more than just great drinks. It’s a celebration of Australia’s creativity and community. We love to push boundaries and create lifelong memories through unique and engaging experiences, offering a perfect combination of education and fun, allowing festival-goers to get up close and personal with the innovators behind their favourite bevvies, and have fun in the process,” James Harding, BeerFest co-director said.
“Our program celebrates creativity, diversity, and all things that make our industry one of the greatest in the world. Sydney BeerFest at Tumbalong Park as the ultimate blend of party vibes and brew education. It’s a place where good times and great flavours collide,” added Harding.
Lindsy Greig, customer experience specialist at The 5th Ingredient, is hosting the Beer Olympics and masterclasses.
The event will also feature DJ John Course and Luke Heggie and will see over 50 local producers showcasing small-batch and one-off craft and artisan beers, spirits, wines, cocktails, cheesemongers and gourmet street food.
