The annual Crafted Beer & Cider Festival returns to Broadbeach with brews, bites and beats

Whether you're a hop head who knows your pale ales from your pilsners, or if you just enjoy blowing the top off a few frothies with your pals, you'd best block out Saturday September 11 in your diary. The Gold Coast's beloved Crafted Beer & Cider Festival is returning to crack the kegs in Kurrawa Park in Broadbeach, bringing with it more than 250 different beers and ciders from 40 breweries, alongside a healthy dose of street eats, a roof-raising seaside concert, beer yoga, buffalo-wing-eating competitions, live comedy and more.


Kicking off at midday and running through until 9:00 pm, the Crafted Beer & Cider Festival will jam your Saturday with pure goodness, with the outdoor precinct to be lined with a raft of local, national and international beer and cider makers showcasing both their cult-favourite brews as well as exclusive festival-only creations. All of the local suspects (from Balter to Lost Palms and Soapbox Beer) will be pouring their finest froths, along with the likes of Gage Roads Brewing Co and local legends Precinct Brewing Co. Don’t do beer or cider? No sweat. The teams from Moondog Brewing Co and Hard Fizz are also joining the party, pouring their seltzers all day long.

It doesn’t stop at the sips. The beachside festival will also feature a collection of hunger-busting gourmet food trucks to line the beer bellies, with popular names like Bigoli Italian Street Food, California Tacos and Chycho’s Buffalo Wings dishing up beer-friendly eats all day. Festival goers can settle in by the open-air stage to soak up tunes from a killer line-up of live-music acts rolling out across the afternoon – there will be antics and anthems from Semantics, plus funk lords Electrik Lemonade plus local legends Chutney and party starters Beatniks DJs. On top of beers, bites and beats, ticket holders can also get bendy with a brew in hand at the beer yoga sessions, expend some energy on the ping-pong tables, or put their stomach on the line for maximum laughs in the buffalo-wing-eating competition.

The full timetable for activities on the day can be found online, where you can also grab one of the final release tickets – but be quick!
