The Great Australian Beer Festival (GABF) returns to Geelong

BIG THINGS BREWING FOR THIRD ANNUAL GREAT AUSTRALIAN BEER FESTIVAL!

The Great Australian Beer Festival (GABF) returns to the Geelong Racecourse on Saturday February 21, 2015.

Brewers and beer lovers make the annual pilgrimage to the city by the bay (only an hour’s drive from the Melbourne CBD), to join with the locals and experience Victoria’s premier celebration of beer and ciders, Australia’s biggest alfresco craft beer and cider garden.

Wander through pop-up bars to sample over 200 Australian and international brews, visit stalls and stroll alleyways to discover an artisan utopia of boutique beers and ciders. Add live music over 3 stages, beer cabaret, comedy, visual arts and a restaurant filled Tastes of the Region, and this festival has all you need for an irresistible weekend.

Taste some homebrew or learn from free seminars on topics like ‘How to taste beer’ or ‘Pairing beer with a range of foods’. Drink, eat, socialise and be merry with plenty of opportunity to kick back, enjoy and to stimulate more than just your tastebuds.

The Great Australian Beer Festival is setting up to be bigger and better than ever before, with more brewers, more space, free beer related seminars, a Tastes of the Region dining area to profile local restaurants, on trend gourmet food trucks, competitions for home brewing, keg rolling and BEERtography along with live entertainment including roaming performers, cabaret, comedy and live music across three stages.

Lose yourself to the sounds of worldly music, from the reggae and Calypso of Nicky Bomba & Friends, to a variety of indie, jazz, funk, folk, blue grass and country.
