Canberra's first ever Craft Beer Festival is being held on Saturday 20th September 2008 at the historic (and centrally located) Olims Hotel, Braddon.
From 10am till late, breweries from all over Australia will be showcasing and tasting their Craft Beers. Breweries appearing at the festival include Schwartz Brewery, Little Creatures, Matilda bay, Lord Nelson, Barons Brewing Co, Coopers, Snowy Mountains, Zierholz Brewery, Prickly Moses and many more. Stop by and chat with a brewer and find out the secrets to making some of Australia's best known beers.
But it's not just about the beer. Right alongside the 'amber enjoyment' will be served a range of local gourmet food that will match your favourite beers. With great prize giveaways and evening entertainment by the Choir Boys, the festival is set to be a highlight on Canberra's calendar of events this Spring.
Tickets are $20 each and include 10 tasting tickets and your own souvenir festival beer glass to keep. All festival goers are encouraged to enjoy the festival responsibly and if you needed an excuse to stay the night - check out some great festival accommodation offers.
All profits from ticket sales and a charity auction at the festival will go to support the ACT Eden Monaro Cancer Support Group.
Come along and unleash your inner beer god!
