GABS Beer, Cider & Food Festival 2017 (Sydney)


We're not quite sure how they manage it, but each year the team behind GABS finds ways to step it up.

And, in 2017, the unique event that combines container bars pouring festival specials with brewer stalls, all manner of entertainment, masterclass and madness, has stepped it up again.

Key for beer adventurers will be the news there's a third container bar meaning they can pour up to 180 festival beers and ciders, while they're also adding stages to the containers so some of their entertainers can do their business from on high.

If you're in Melbourne, the Yenda ferris wheel is back too, while the Sydney leg of the festival has moved to The Dome at Sydney Showground in Olympic Park.

You can get the full rundown of what's on offer via the GABS Festival website, which is where you can find ticket sales too.

The Sydney event runs across two sessions on May 27.
