International Brewers Day Festival - Brisbane

[bconnery]

Not sure exactly which forum this belongs in but this year in Brisbane there'll be an Internation Brewers Day festival. 16th - 18th July.

Register on www.goodbeers.com so you can get into the exclusive opening night event at the Platform.

See ARCHIVE Beer Boutique and Bistro/ Archive WestEnd for more details about the event planned for Sunday.
Get your tickets ASAP as they are already selling out. Awesome beers on tap many of which are not normally seen in Brisbane.

Beers from Otway, Stone and Wood, Blue Sky, MT Brewery, Murrays, Meantime and Mikkeller to name a few...

Oh yes, and I am kind of affiliated as my wife is helping Matt from GoodBeers.com organise this...

Ah yes... been to and enjoyed the last couple years at the Platform. With the Archive in for this year, it should be awesome. Alas, I'll be in Seattle when it happens though. Enjoy it guys!

Both events are going to be a lot bigger this year too I'm sure Seattle will have its compensations though!

Good to hear! Bringing some kegs with you?

Yeah, I suppose so. It looks like this place will be my local for awhile.

Still, I'll miss the fun and great beer here this year at this event. I am glad to see it getting bigger, and I'll likely be back in Brizzy in 2011 for next year's event.



Until I go, I'll be at the Archive ensconsed in one of those leather lay-back chairs with a schooner of White Rabbit in hand...

 

[Snow]

Well I'm signed up for the Friday session. Should be a cracker!

Cheers - Snow.

No worries. Hope to see you there! It is your day after all

Thanks for the heads up ... could be worth the trip into the city.

 

[Mearesy]

Damn I hope I can make it to this!

Follow the link and read the beer list and I think you'll find could isn't the right word

You definitely need to subscribe to goodbeers.com.au and then book very soon though. It's selling out fast!

Search me. I'm sure they'd forgive you
Didn't you skip something else recently? What else are brownie points for?
