Looking for something to do tonight? This weekend? Next month?
Whether you’re seeking out new beers, want to strut your stuff at a local trivia night, or out to
support local home brewers, there’s something for everyone on our busy calendar of events.
With Gold Coast events ranging from lunches to free tastings, and Brisbane events that allow you to meet your favourite brewer
or sample a fresh brew before anyone else, our beer events page is a comprehensive guide to what’s happening in southeast Queensland.
This page offers a consolidated list of beer festivals and special occasions celebrating beer
while also highlighting fun things to do at local venues that support the independent craft beer scene.

“We brew like a beer, distil like a good Scottish Whisky and age like a bourbon. America’s true northwest.”
“Nothing worthwhile comes easily. Taking the familiar road can rob life of its flavour. So at Bentspoke, we take a more adventurous route, knowing all too well that it’ll bend a few spokes along the way.”


Queensland’s premier wine & craft spirits tasting event is coming to Rivershed, Howard Smith Wharves! Grab your friends for a time to remember with wines, spirits, gourmet canapés & live entertainment right on the Brisbane River. Tickets strictly limited so book early: $79 and ALL INCLUSIVE.

The main day is Saturday (12midday – 8.30pm), run over 2 sessions (12pm till 4pm & 4.30pm till 8.30pm). You may book for as long as you like, but bookings for 4 hours or under, must keep within the 1 session time.
