The Beer InCider Experience, returning to Albion Park Raceway on 18 and 19 September in its second year, will welcome more than 30 independent craft beer and cider breweries from around Australia to Brisbane, some for the first time.

Festivalgoers can meet the brewers and brewery representatives from a huge number of craft breweries and some for the first time.

Akasha Brewing Co, Ekim Brewing Co, Exit Brewing Co and Prancing Pony are new to Brisbane and its beer drinkers.

Reformed lawyer and Beer InCider Experience festival director Martin Keetels handpicked the brewery line up.

“We are the only festival in Australia that solely features independent breweries. “This is our identity; we’re an independent, local event that supports like-minded businesses, and our focus is on local, independent craft brewers,” said Keetels.

The complete handpicked brewery line up includes: All Inn Brewing Co, Akasha Brewing Company, The Apple Thief, Australian Brewery, Bacchus Brewing Co, Batlow Cider, BrewCult, Brisbane Brewing Co, Cavalier Brewing, Croft Brewing Company, Ekim Brewing Co, Exit Brewing Co, Flying Brick Cider Co, Fortitude Brewing Company, Four Hearts Brewing Company, Green Beacon Brewing, Golden Axe Cider, The Hills Cider Company, Holgate Brewhouse, KAIJU!, Killer Sprocket, Monteith’s Brewing, Mountain Goat, Newstead Brewing Co, Prancing Pony Brewery, Riverside Brewing Company, Rocks Brewing Co, Six String Brewing, Stone & Wood Brewing, Willie Smiths Organic Cider, Young Henrys and 4 Pines Brewing.

The same philosophy has dictated the festival’s music selection.

Alternative darlings British India and Queensland favourite Busby Marou are headlining the event while Melbourne’s Skipping Girl Vinegar and Sydney’s All Our Exes Live In Texas will also be highlights.
