Not long now until the fourth Good Beer Week kicks off and the number of sellouts is mounting. As in past years, as part of our role as the festival’s online media partner, we’re keeping an up-to-date list of what events have sold out or which ones are close to going so you don’t miss out on any of your favourites.
The online program, which you can access here, also notifies you when the last few tickets are reached with a “Selling Fast” warning. If you do miss out on your intended event, there are more than 60 events for which there are no tickets, including the expanded Pint of Origin taking place at 10 pubs around Melbourne.
