SAVE THE DATE!
Saturday April 18 | Hemingway’s Brewery Cairns Wharf | FREE ENTRY
Join us on the waterfront for the return of the Cairns Craft Beer Festival, a celebration of Far North Queensland’s vibrant independent beer scene, set against the stunning backdrop of Hemingway’s Brewery Cairns Wharf.
This year’s festival is a featured event in Tasting the Tropics, a month-long celebration of the region’s tropical flavours curated by Tourism Tropical North Queensland.
We’ll be pouring fresh brews from some of the best local names in craft beer, with confirmed appearances from:
- Macalister Brewing Co
- Billycart Brewing
And more breweries to be announced soon, including favourites like Copperlode Brewing, Coral Sea Brewing Co, and Maggie Island Brewery.
Expect an afternoon of cold beers, tropical vibes, and waterfront views, plus live music and entertainment throughout the day. Full music lineup and festival schedule will be released soon.
Whether you’re a local beer lover or just here to taste the tropics, save the date and come thirsty.
