Brewers old and new are heading to Ormond Hall from all parts of Victoria for the first Good Beer Showcase.
A total of 23 breweries will be pouring their beers for up to 400 attendees each night on October 9 and 10.

Guys,
Does this event replace the microbrewery showcase that was scheduled for oct 23-24 at fed square?
The GBW Showcase is a new venture by the GBW team that is unrelated to the Fed Square event that no longer runs. The festival has always been looking for ways to keep promoting good beer outside the period surrounding the week itself and when the decision was made that there would be no more Showcases at Fed Square, we decided that creating a new, purely beer-focused event to run twice a year was a great idea.
The plan is for the March event to become the festival’s program launch.
