GET SET FOR SUMMER 2023-24
AND THE BIGGEST BEERFEST SEASON YET!
At Beerfest, we are a dynamic group of like-minded and passionate individuals who really love what we do! We are innovative and capable of quickly adapting to today’s everchanging event landscape.
We’re a meeting place of producers of quality craft beers, ciders and boutique spirits with an inquisitive and appreciative audience. From core favourites to exclusive new releases and collaborations, we offer a platform for the exchange of ideas, information and feedback while simultaneously delivering a unique experience and celebration of what is undoubtedly one of Australia’s favourite industries and past times.
Beerfest is more than just a Beer Festival. Each location offers a diverse range of activities, live entertainment, masterclasses, and workshops in a laid-back environment that appeals to a wide cross-section of locals and visitors from all walks of life.
In 2020-21 the Beerfest team was able to continue offering the Beerfest experience across Australia, working closely with key stakeholders and sponsors to deliver 6 successful COVIDSafe events across Australia.

STAND INCLUSIONS
Are there additional costs? Does the site fee cover everything?
In addition to the stall fee, there is a 6.6% fee on your takings.
We will provide you with square terminal(s) that are logged into our BeerFest account. These will have your item pricing that you’ve provided and ready for you during bump in. After the event we’ll issue you with reports and instructions on how to invoice us, we’ll then promptly reimburse your takings (minus the 6.6% fee).
There is dedicated support staff on hand during bump in and all all times during the event to assist your terminals and any training necessary for your staff working at your stall.
In Tasmania the above is not applicable, alcohol stalls use their own cashless payment terminals.
Depending on state licensing and council requirements, there may be an additional fee passed on to attending stalls. Examples:
Food stalls provide their own cashless payment terminals at all locations.
If a food stall requires us to supply a marquee, we will pass this hire cost onto the stall (~$250). For alcohol stalls, the marquee hire is included.
What’s the process for registering a stall at a BeerFest festival?
The general process is:
Are BeerFest festivals cashless?
All BeerFest festivals are 100% cashless.
For alcohol stalls we provide square terminals which are required to be used.
What does the stall fee include?
See above these FAQ’s for a list of what is and isn’t included with the stall fee.
How do I secure a great spot for my stall?
Stalls choose their locations based on how early the register on a first come first served basis. So registering early will ensure you’ve got the widest range of possible locations.
How can my business more involved with a festival?
We have numerous sponsorship options available, typically a stall is included in sponsorship making this an attractive option for some. Please contact us for more information.
We also host master class sessions at the festivals. These are 20-40min sessions that might be a subject you’d like to talk about, e.g., “chocolate & beer pairings” or “canning beer – pros & cons.”
How can I get a sense of what a BeerFest festival might look like?
Our facebook page has many photos from all of our festivals over the years. Perhaps a good starting point might be either Fremantle BeerFest 2022 or our NYE at Royal Park Launceston album.
