Great Australian Beer Festival

GABF Geelong is all about exploring and discovering good beer—interactive themed bars, 200+ brews, all paired with damn good food. Held in manicured central parkland, GABF unites craft beer enthusiasts with brewers from around the country together with all of the region’s truly unique breweries located in urban, coastal, rural and from deep within the Otway rain forest.

While GABF mixes the familiar elements of an outdoor beer festival—the pop-up bars, educational sessions, food and live music, it also adds more obscure flourishes. By more, you can expect to find wandering cabaret acts, a piano bar, a wacky dance-off; even find yourself judging a best beard competition. Catch Sneaky Sound System & Kim Churchill together with a host of other live acts during the day. There’s no better place to discover, taste, reflect on and explore the hoppy drop in all its glory.
