May the fourth be with you
MAY the fourth is a great time for a mate to have a beer with you, as Cairns Craft Beer Festival makes its return in 2024, this time returning with a Star Wars themed event.
Now in its fifth year, Cairns Craft Beer Festival is an established and well-attended event on the region’s calendar.
Attracting beer lovers from near and far, the festival celebrates the region’s craft brewing all-stars.
Featuring the region’s finest, a specialty beer will be brewed by Maggie Island Brewing, Macalister Brewing Co, Coral Sea Brewing Co, Copperlode Brewing Co, Billycart Brewing Co, and festival host, Hemingway’s Brewery.
With a range of food stalls showcasing local produce keeping the energy flowing, the live and local music bill for the day will be headlined by entertainment from The Joker Pokers, Big Pups and The Nightshift.
Cairns Craft Beer Festival organiser and Hemingway’s Brewery hospitality head Roman Haslinger said craft beer, hand-made using a unique blend of hops and yeast to achieve distinct and diverse flavour profiles, relied on a good deal of ingenuity and flair.
“Craft brewers are passionate about their art and the purity of quality ingredients,” he said.
