We’re only a couple of days away from Beerfest 2018 in Launceston.
This annual event has become one of my favourite times of
the year.
The huge gathering of beer, cider and food is a dream come
true, unfortunately it only comes for a short time, my hip pocket is probably
glad about that.
Reading news articles and following the social media around
the event the biggest thing to know is that the location has changed, no longer
around the Boag’s Brewery, Beerfest is now over at Royal Park. It is also only
on Saturday, in years past it would start on Friday night giving me a chance to
warm up and scope out the best stalls to visit.

I’m again looking forward to trying beers from around
Tasmania and beyond, Devil’s Brewery from the south have become one of my
favourite stalls to visit, this time they have a joint stall with the local
Morrison Brewery who are trialling a Raspberry Sour beer.
Last year Boag’s made an exclusive beer for the event, I
hope they do that again.
Red Brick Road are fresh from the Taste with a wide range of
tasty ciders, they will help in between drinks to keep me going.
Coal Valley Cider is from a pristine remote area on the way
to Hobart, I drove through there earlier in the week and saw their orchards
that span as far as the eye can see. They always have a wide range of different
fruit made into cider.
This cheat day for me is hopefully going to be filled with a
lot of food too, Tornado Potatoes are back as well as Burger Junkie who
recently opened a store after only being a food van, perfect food for Beerfest.

Make sure you wear sunscreen and drink water to keep at your
best on the day.
My team of beer, cider and food enthusiasts will share what we liked the best.
Hope to see you there!
