Over the last three years it has also won a number of medals and awards for the beer, including Champion Large Brewery at the Queensland Royal Queensland Food and Wine Show (RQFWS) Beer Awards in 2019.

Head brewer, Lachy Crothers, has been at the helm since its launch, and will be online to taste the Hawaiin Haze and Oaked XPA.

Out of one of the coolest warehouse-turned-brewpubs in inner city Melbourne, is Inner North Brewing. Launched in 2018, cofounder and brewer Zach Skerritt will join us to share his lemongrass rice ale, When Life Gives You Lemongrass, and Big Red; a 6.4% red ale with a mixture of old world and new world hops, alongside plenty of burnt caramel and biscuit malt flavours.

Hi everyone,

As we enter what would have been our tenth ever Good Beer Week, we''re obviously pretty sad we can't celebrate it with you all in person.

Just because we're all stuck at home doesn't mean the week can't be a Good Beer Week, in its own way. Over the next few days, we'll be rolling out a Good Beer Week Virtual Festival program. We've got some of our great friends on board for virtual events, and we'll be sharing memories and pictures from the last nine Good Beer Weeks. We'd love to see yours too.

It won't be Good Beer Week as we all know it, but it'll still be the Good Beer Week we all love; so let's crack open a beer, take a trip down memory lane and remember all the good times we've had since 2011.

Keep an eye on our social media, and your emails, for updates, and tag us on any great memories you want to share.

It all kicks off this Friday.

Cheers,
The Good Beer Week Team
