BeerFest Sydney is developing its line-up for its December festival, which is taking place in Sarling Harbour’s Tumbalong Park on 6-7 December.
Organisers say the festival will attract more than 8000 visitors and that they want to offer guests experiences that will last a lifetime. They added that festival-goers can expect exclusive small-batch brews, one-off collaborations, boutique distilleries, fine wines, themed cocktails, and much more than just a paddock-to-plate experience.
“At BeerFest, we love to push boundaries and create lifelong memories through unique and engaging experiences,” said James Harding, Festival Co-Director.
“We offer 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.
“Our program celebrates creativity, diversity, and all things that make our industry one of the greatest in the world.
“We’re proud to present 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.”
Metro and regional exhibitors include Philter Brewing, Mountain Culture Beer Co, Spreyton Cider, Sundowner Brewing, Brickworks, White Bay, Brix Distillers, Good Folk Brewing, Tara Distillery and Dad & Daves Brewing.
“Tumbalong Park is the ideal location for everyone to come along and have a fun day out,” added James.
“We’ll have lots of activations and family-friendly activities, and hopefully convert general beer, cider, gin, whisky, and wine drinkers into appreciating craft and boutique drops, and learning something new in the process.”
The family-friendly weekend will be filled with free activities and entertainment, including live comedy, masterclasses, beer-food pairings, cocktail mixology, and the Beer Olympics. DJ John Course and the Daft Punk Discovery Tribute Show will provide live music, and unique and on-site activations include tattoo artists.
BeerFest has also announced Mercure Sydney as an accommodation partner, with a range of packages for festival visitors.
Gavin Loveday, Mercure Sydney’s Director of Sales & Marketing, said: “We are excited at this new partnership with BeerFest. Mercure Sydney is a strong supporter of local business and experiences, and know our guests will thoroughly enjoy everything BeerFest has to offer.
“Our accommodation packages will include some exciting beer themed amenities to guests can had a taste of what the will experience at the event.”
