I got you at ‘beer’ right? You just can’t say no to the hoppy goodness.
Whether you’re a craft connoisseur, or a true VB drinker, there’s something to put in your diary for this year’s Beer Week which runs from 26th October to the 4th November. It’s time to celebrate local brews, as well as those from afar. I mean, as long as we’ve got a cold one in hand, things are going to go pretty well.
Opening Gala, Darling Harbour
Friday, October 26
Kick off the week with a bang. Sample local beers as well as those from Australia wide and overseas. There will be food trucks, live bands and so much more for a damn good time. If you’re looking for an all round event to explore everything on offer, this one is a must.

Yoga & Bottomless Beer Brunch, Chippendale
Saturday, October 27
Four Points, one of the events major sponsors, is hosting a morning of beer and fitness to kick off the opening weekend. Starting out with a 1 hour yoga class on Chippendale Green, you’ll release all of that negative energy just before you pile on the brews. Head to the hotel terrace afterwards to try Malt Bar’s best local brews. Not to mention the bottomless brunch and live DJ.

Goat Games, Newtown
Saturday, October 27
Along with the Inner West Festival, Newtown is providing the goods with the Goat Games, brought to you by legends themselves, Mountain Goat. Ten teams of three will go head to head to win a Goat tinnie party this summer. Well worth registering if you ask me. P.s. Goat and beer knowledge as well as skill is gonna be useful if you’re looking for a win.
