The Geelong Beer Festival is back, and this year, it is turning up the heat with an event that’s an absolute must.

The event returns to the picturesque Johnstone Park on January 20 from 12 noon-8pm.

The festival celebrates the region’s best in food/drink, arts, and entertainment combining a stellar list of world-class breweries, cideries, distilleries, cocktail specialists, vineyards and local gourmet street food, complemented by a dynamic program of live entertainment and curated activities.
