5 Must-Dos At Melbourne’s Good Beer Week

Undoubtedly one of the best weeks on the Melbourne calendar, Good Beer Week is right around the corner. Now in its seventh year, the event kicks off on May 12 and runs until May 21. More than 300 events are expected to draw 75,000 attendees throughout Melbourne and across Victoria.

And the week is about more than just beer. The week is a celebration of food, brewing, cider and more. Also on offer are masterclasses, live music, fashion shows, and the coveted International Beer Awards.

With so many events to choose from, it’s hard to know where to begin. We’ve put together our top five picks for events at the 2017 Good Beer Week.

Victoria’s best female brewers will be serving at The Fox Hotel, alongside plenty of local female musicians in tow to provide live music and sweet beats all night long.
