The Sydney Beer Week (SBW) 2018 program was yesterday announced, with over 130 events across greater Sydney. The festival will take place from 26 October to 4 November with beer from across Australia and around the world on show.

Sydney’s biggest and best celebration of beer kicks off with the SBW Gala Opening at the Australian National Maritime Museum on Friday 26 October. With a city skyline backdrop, over 30 breweries from Sydney, around Australia and overseas will be pouring their best beers including crowd favourites and special brews created exclusively for SBW ‘18. In addition to sampling sours, lapping lagers and appreciating ales, lucky patrons will be fed by Sydney’s finest food trucks.

Festival highlights include a yoga, beer & BBQ brunch at Four Points Central Park, an opportunity to win Goose Island IPA for a year at a cornhole tournament and a beer & cheese matching with the Stinking Bishops at the Taphouse.

You can also grab a special SBW burger at Bar Luca all week and duck into the SBW Hub at Uncle Hops in Newtown to keep tapped into what’s happening. The festivities continue until Sunday 4 November with plenty of free events in the program to whet your appetite.

As the birthplace of Australian beer, Sydney has a rich and diverse history of brewing, and SBW ’18 will feature some of the oldest in the country as well as the newest with many special guests.

SBW ’18 Major Sponsor Four Points by Sheraton Sydney, Central Park hosted a program launch for industry on Friday 31st August at their brand-new venue Malt, additional images available on request.
