Beer connoisseurs are set to sample some of the region\u2019s finest brews next weekend for Geelong\u2019s eighth Great Australian Beer Festival.<\/p>\n

Each year the festival attracts about 5,000 people, with this year\u2019s instalment to be hosted at Johnstone Park for the first time. <\/p>\n

The event featured 37 Australian breweries, including 12 from the Geelong region, in 2019.<\/p>\n

More than 200 beers and ciders will be on offer in the picturesque park, along with a range of interactive seminars and workshops to promote understanding and appreciation of craft beer.<\/p>\n

Festival director Kieran Blood said Johnstone Park was the ideal location for the festival.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so pleased to have this magnificent park and cultural icon entrusted to us for our eighth annual festival.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe magnificent library and historical museum and town hall make for a great backdrop, and the central proximity to the railway station is most convenient for our patrons.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile brewers will be attending from around the country, a real highlight for us is creating an event that showcases our local regional brewers to a wider audience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a unique region with breweries located in urban, coastal, rural and rainforest areas and the festival is the only event where visitors can sample all of them in the one place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnstone Park will also be alive with music throughout the day, featuring national and local musicians, a piano bar and roving cabaret performers creating a distinct festival atmosphere.<\/p>\n

The festival will be held on January 18 from 1-8pm. For more information, head to gabfgeelong.com.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n
