Hold on to your tasting paddles, Brisbane! The Beer InCider Experience is back, baby – and now it’s gone biannual, making its second appearance this year at the Brisbane Showgrounds in September.

The Beer InCider Experience brings together a whopping selection of independent breweries and cideries, kick-ass bands, tasty food and ping pong.

This edition’s musical line-up has got tongues wagging just as much as the frothies on offer – we’re talking hip-hop flavour and indie vibes galore. Friday night’s offering sees the likes of Thundamentals, Briggs and Jesswar christening the stage with an explosion of beats, while Saturday’s line-up sprinkles headliners Hockey Dad with mates Ruby Fields, Dear Seattle, Charlie Collings, BRIS182 and VOIID.

What’s a festival without great food? Every festival, organisers love to bring a range of Brisbane’s favourite food trucks and restaurant pop-ups together so everyone can match the perfect burger/pizza/taco to whatever they’re drinking. So far the festival has had beer-infused bakery goods, cheese platters, raclette, charcuterie cones, hot nuts, organic donuts, and even beer ice blocks.

So, grab your mates, mark the date and get ready to head to Brisbane Showgrounds on Friday 20 and Saturday 21 September 2019 for awesome beer, cider and an insane music line-up with some wine, food trucks, ping pong and handball thrown in for good measure.
