Are you a beer geek? Then you are going to love our annual Brew Zone.

You'll have the opportunity to learn about the ingredients and process involved in making beer. We'll also have a range of home-brewers showing off their homebrew systems, perfect inspiration if you are thinking about getting set up to make your own beer at home.

PLUS there are 'Brew Talks' with a range of craft brewers taking turns on the microphone to talk about Wild, Sour and Farmhouse brewing. All of this is FREE as part of your entry ticket.

​

Each talk will be around 20 minutes long, with 5-10 minute Q&A after each.
