The Brew Crew: A Top Shelf Line-Up Of Craft Beers Heads To Brewers Feast

Good news, craft beer lovers! Brewers Feast is back in town with an incredible line-up of summer suds and boutique eats to tickle Melbourne's taste buds.

Hosted in the gardens of Abbotsford Convent, there are more than 80 beers to swig, from a line-up of top breweries including Stockade Brew Co, Prickly Moses, Stone & Wood, Pirate Life and Mornington Peninsula Brewery. There will also be some new discoveries on offer, including hometown heroes the Henry St Brewhouse and Brewers Feast newcomers, CoConspirators Brewing Co.

What's more, this year's survey of Australia's best craft brews includes over 12 festival exclusives, supported by Bintani, created especially for Brewers Feast. And it's not just hop-heads who have plenty to be excited about. Non-beer drinkers can knock back a Harcourts Cider, a glass of wine from the Otway Estate, or one of a range of alcoholic ice teas.

For the first time, the festival will be introducing an innovative new pairing experience, fusing beer appreciation and music. Punters will be able to enjoy a carefully selected pot while taking in the sweet sounds of Triple J artists including Shiva and the Hazards, Neighbourhood Youth, Ben Whiting, Mango Retreat, The Winter Gypsy, Cracker La Touf, AZTX, Blue Howl, Eastbound Buzz, Jimmy Harwood, and Seventh Winter.

Foodies also have a heap to be pumped about. In addition to the range of delicious eats on offer from Twisted Mac, Melbourne Arancini, Soul Kitchen and Donut Panic, true gastronomes should be sure to catch The Last Supper. This six-course degustation menu, hosted in the Abbotsford Convent's Mural Room, features a world-class fine dining experience, and of course, a specially paired beer selection to go with it.

From 2 & 3 Dec at Abbotsford Convent
