The GABS Summer Craft Beer Tour is hitting the Gold Coast this weekend and is set to be a weekend extravaganza of cold brews, delicious food and summer vibes. The tour is bringing together over 70 of the most loved breweries in Australia and New Zealand as a whirlwind celebration of craft beer, creativity and quality.
From two massive GABS Invitational bars; 40-foot container bars with 120 serving taps on each, a stunning champagne and wine lawn and the New Zealand Festival Bar, serving up unique brews showcasing the best of New Zealand’s beers, there’s a bunch of goodness worth checking out.
Once you’ve got your beer gut in full force, tuck into some of the mouth-watering bites from local foodies, listen to panel discussions with industry leaders or check out the giant Ferris wheel and funky beer-themed activations. Keep the good vibes going with tunes from jazz and soul performers, dance like no one’s watching at the silent disco and chat to the folks behind your favourite beers.
The GABS tour launched on the Sunshine Coast Stadium Foreshore on Saturday 2 January, and it will be hitting Broadwater Parklands on the Gold Coast to life this Saturday 9 January.
