CRAFTED FESTIVAL NEWCASTLE, NEW BREWS + BANDS ADDED
Time to tap in, Newcastle! Crafted Beer Festival has just unveiled the next exciting wave of breweries, bands, and food vendors, all set for the festival's inaugural event at the Newcastle Foreshore on Saturday, 16 November. With the first release of tickets flying out the door and almost sold out, now is the perfect time to secure yours before they disappear!
Following the electric first line-up announcement, which featured headliners Children Collide, the festival is brewing up even more goodness. Craft beer aficionados are in for a treat, with an expanded list of local and national breweries now pouring into the event. From the crisp creations of Alehouse to the bold brews from Broken Bay Brewing, Doozy, Reckless Brewing Co, and many more, there’s a fresh drop for every taste. Whether you’re a fan of the hop-heavy, crisp lagers, or tart ciders, this latest announcement has something to sip on and savour.
The fun doesn’t fizzle out with the brews, more artists are hop-ping on board the line-up bringing an exciting mix of local talent to the Crafted stage. Get ready to be swept away by an electrifying lineup of music, featuring Nana Klumpp, the dynamic sounds of Underlay, and the fierce up-and-comers Saylor and the Flavor. Also joining the mix is Daytrip, bringing a fresh brew of indie tunes. This festival promises a diverse lineup of musical talent, ensuring an experience that is just as exciting and varied as the impressive selection of craft beers on offer. Plus, BEER LOVIN', award-winning comedian, TV host, and radio legend Harley Breen is taping into Crafted Beer Festival 2024 as our MC!
No festival experience is complete without an equally mouth-watering selection of food to pair with your brews. With this latest reveal, festival-goers can look forward to feasting on sizzling German sausages from Volkswurst or diving into freshly made dumplings from Veronton Dumpling Food Truck. These new additions join an already delicious roster of food vendors, ensuring there’s something for everyone to dig into between sips.
If you’re looking to add a little action to your afternoon, the festival is packed with activities to keep the good vibes rolling. Kick back and stretch out with Beer Yoga, perfect for working up a thirst, or test your skills with Basketball Shoot Outs and a Ping Pong competition. With plenty of fun to be had, Crafted Beer Festival promises more than just great drinks and music – it’s a full day of entertainment.
With all these incredible drinks on offer, someone's got to come out on top, right? Crafted is leaving that decision to the festival-goers, who can cast their votes for the best brew right on the festival grounds. The fan favourite will be crowned with the Untappd People’s Choice Award during the festival’s closing on Sunday. The brewers aren't left out of the action! They’ll be voting for the Hotel Miami Brewer's Choice Award, recognising the top brewery at the event. Winners will be announced at the festival on Saturday evening.
With excitement building and the first release of tickets nearly sold out, the message is clear: don’t wait. Now’s the time to grab yours and ensure you don’t miss out on what’s shaping up to be Newcastle’s most epic craft beer celebration.
