Get ready to raise a glass and toast to our vibrant craft beer scene at the highly-anticipated Newcastle Beer Fest! 

The event is back with an impressive lineup of 35 indie brewers, ready for you to spend the day tasting brews and sinking a few cold ones. With local favourites like Method Brewing, Grainfed Brewing Company, and Shout Brewing Co. making an appearance, plus renowned names such as Bentspoke Brewing Co, Capital Brewing Co, and The Grifter Brewing Co, Newcastle Beer Fest festival promises to be a beer lover's paradise.

Taking place at King Edward Park on Saturday, 9 March, Newcastle Beer Fest offers more than just great beer. Imagine yourself soaking up the sun and listening to live music while you enjoy your brews with fellow beer enthusiasts.

Your ticket includes event entry, 10 beer tasting tokens, and a designated tasting cup, all for just $65. And with an array of food trucks offering delicious bites to complement your beers, you'll be well-fuelled for a day of fun and festivities.

While seating is available, why not bring along your own picnic rug and make yourself comfortable on the grass? And don't worry about leaving the little ones behind – Newcastle Beer Fest is a family-friendly event, although children must be accompanied by an adult.

The brainchild of Luke Tilse from The Happy Wombat and The Young Street Hotel and Taiyo Namba from Nagisa, Susuru, and Âpé Yakitori Bar, Newcastle Beer Fest started as a collaboration event in Honeysuckle, known as the Boardwalk Beer Festival. Now, it has evolved into a celebration of independent beer, aimed at elevating the category within Newcastle and showcasing the city's rich brewing culture.

So mark your calendars and grab your tickets for a day filled with great beer and good vibes at Newcastle Beer Fest.
