To get people in the mood, the second pre-festival event off the rank is the Good Beer Week Gala Showcase on March 13th to 14th in the spectacular Fitzroy Town Hall. A total of 23 breweries from Victoria, Western Australia and South Australia – including some new this year – will present their finely crafted brews.
