2017 EVENT GUIDELINES NOW AVAILABLE
It's that time again... Do you want your brewery, venue or business to be part of Australia’s leading celebration of the best of the beer world? Then it’s time to get creative and start planning your events as registrations for Good Beer Week 2017 open on October 1.
The seventh Good Beer Week runs across Melbourne and Victoria from May 13-21, 2017 and to ensure we can put together our best program yet we need your ideas submitted by no later than October 31, 2016.
Once again, the festival described as the best, most diverse and most professional in the world by visiting guests from major international craft breweries will feature five streams and is looking for a colourful mix of events that cater for everyone from the newcomer to the nerd, from the foodie to the fun lover. We’re looking for events that take good beer into new places, whether that is geographically or socially.
PLEASE NOTE: The website will not be available to accept registrations until October 1, 2016. We are sending you the guidelines first to get your thinking caps on!
