Gabs Beer, Cider and Food Festival

The Gabs Beer, Cider and Food Festival brings together the best brewers and cider makers from Australia and New Zealand for a two-day extravaganza.

You can sample unique beers brewed especially for this event from across the region —there’s sure to be something to suit every taste!

Globally recognised as One of the Best Beer Festivals in the World, it’s Disneyland for beer lovers as you taste 120 new and unique Craft Beers brewed just for you and released at GABS. Meet and share stories with a cracking lineup of some of the best brewers. Discover street food, entertainment, silent disco, beer education, fun games, and more.

For those brewers, it’s an opportunity to push their creative flair, break boundaries, and showcase their talents. These brews are unique, one-of-a-kind, first-time, and exclusive releases, which you will only find at GABS. Served through the two massive container bars, each with 120 taps, the best way to experience these wonderful creations is to grab a tasting paddle and order five different tasters at a time.

With a massive 60+ exhibitors showcasing their range at GABS Sydney, the GABS Marketplace is the perfect opportunity to explore the world of craft beer and cider, discover new favourites, sample limited releases, and chat with the folks behind your favourite brews.

You can buy tasters from every stand or go for a full pour if you find something you like. Many stands will be running games, activities and competitions as part of the fun. Get amongst it!

Feast on mouth-watering goodies at the GABS Street Food Market. As always, they’re proud to have some of the city’s best street food trucks serving the perfect treats to pair with your chosen brew.

At GABS, sampling is the name of the game. To make the most of this unique experience, sample as many different brews as possible. 85ml taster glasses are available for any brew, and you can buy five in one go. If you find one you like and want more of it, you can step up to a 285ml glass.

You can also learn how to brew your own from the experts at GABS. There’s also live entertainment, plenty of food, and a disco. It’s a popular event, with the day divided into two sessions.

You can pre-book your tickets online (recommended) or take a chance and buy them there. It’s cheaper to buy them online, and you’ll avoid the risk of missing out. Group discounts are also available online.
