It was all beers, cheers and good vibes at the 2023 Hinterland Craft Beer Festival at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Saturday 24 June. 

Imperial Hotel and Eumundi Brewery manager Mike Brockley said he was thrilled with the roll-up, which saw a line-up of 10 local breweries, a gin bar, food trucks and an afternoon of fun-filled entertainment and live music.

“This was our fifth annual beer fest, and the roll-up was out best yet,” Mike said.

“It was terrific to see beer-lovers converge in Eumundi to sample and discover new craft beers and meet and share stories with the impressive line-up of brewers on the day,” he said.

The festival showcased brewers and brews from 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. There was also a pop-up gin bar serving up Eumundi Distillers’ Folktale gins. 

The festival buzzed throughout the afternoon and into the evening, with a live music line-up that saw Bud Rokesky, Benny O, and Kurilpa Reach take to the stage. Spinning wax and playing tracks, The Imperial Hotel resident Vinyl DJs played sets to keep festival-goers grooving throughout the afternoon

Roving performers had guests laughing, and guests of all age ages enjoyed the raft of old skool pub games.
