Put Saturday 24 June in your diary for the Hinterland Craft Beer Festival returning for 2023, with the frothy festivities taking place at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi from noon til 8pm.
This boutique fun-filled free entry festival is celebrating its fifth year, bringing together the best of local breweries, live music grooves, food trucks and Eumundi good vibes.
The line-up of breweries for 2023 sees a return of festival favourites, with Heads of Noosa Brewing Co, Copperhead Brewery, Boiling Pot Brewing Co, Moffat Beach Brewing Co, Sunshine Brewery, Your Mates Brewing Co, Noosa Hinterland Brewing Co, Matso’s Brewery, Terella Brewing and resident hosts Eumundi Brewery bringing their beer-y best.
Imperial Hotel and Eumundi Brewery manager Mike Brockley said lovers of local craft brews would have their thirst well and truly quenched.
“There’ll be a whopping 80 beers for tasting at the festival, with the respective breweries bringing their popular core brews, new seasonals as well as some experimental small-batch brews being crafted specially for the festival,” Mike said
“The toughest task for beer lovers will be deciding which ones to sample – with a range of ales, lagers, sours, porters, stouts, IPAs and ginger beers to choose from.“
For those who aren’t fully committed to beer, there’ll be a pop-up gin bar serving up Eumundi Distillers’ Folktale gins.
To accompany the brews and bevies, there will be a fine selection of tasty street food to tuck into.
On the entertainment front, there’ll be non-stop live music and grooves throughout the afternoon and into the evening. Roving performers will have guests laughing, and there’ll be a raft of old skool pub games to play on the day.
If you love making beer, learning about beer, talking beer, and, of course, tasting beer, then you most certainly ought to save the date for what is sure to be your kind of afternoon.
