Celebrating two of the things nearest and dearest to people’s hearts, the Beer & BBQ Fest is back with an incredible line-up for its tenth outing. Anything you can think of to accompany a cold one is likely to make an appearance across the long weekend at Adelaide Showground, so strap in. And maybe take Tuesday off.

First, and arguably most importantly, the beer. Featuring more than 40 breweries from South Australia, Western Australia, Queensland and Victoria, there’s bound to be something to your liking. Among a stellar line-up are crowd favourites such as home-heroes Coopers (of course), Big Shed Brewing, Pirate Life and Prancing Pony, as well as regional and rural favourites including Loophole Brewing Co, The Uraidla Brewery and Woolstore Brewery. You’re covered for a feast too, with 17 food trucks dishing up a range of cuisines, although naturally there’s a heavy emphasis on all things barbecue to keep you going through the weekend. 

There’s heaps of music to enjoy too, with more than 30 bands taking to the stage, including headliners Wolfmother and The Chats, alongside Tim Finn who heads the Legends Sunday night slot. Sunday arvo is family friendly, with plenty of activities including wrestling, eating comps, sausage wars, beer-bod wet T-shirt competitions, DJs and the brilliant Bootleg Choir.

Adelaide Showground, Wayville, Kaurna Country, Friday 6–Sunday 8 June.
