Returning for its 13th year, the South West Beer Festival has found a new home at the breathtaking Aravina Estate on Saturday 17 May.

Bringing together all the sips and swells the South West is famous for, the team at South West Craft Beer Festival promise an epic day in the name of beer. Over 150 pales, ales and everything in between will be poured by 20 of the best local brewers, alongside premium wines, ciders and nibbles. Finding a new home at the picturesque Aravina Estate, the festival is the ideal spot to sip and soak up the region’s brews and surf atmosphere. With its unique Surf Museum celebrating the rich surf culture of the South West, Festival Director Jason Dover says there is no better host than Aravina.

“Moving dates and venues has given us the ideal opportunity to bring together two passions that embody adventure and craftsmanship – craft beer and surf culture. Both celebrate creativity, community and the thrill of the perfect ride – whether it’s a wave or a perfectly brewed pint” says Jason.

Regional favourites like Eagle Bay Brewing Co,  Cowaramup Brewing Company, CBCo and Aravina’s own 8 Waves Brewing Co will be there, plus new kids on the block Bailey Brewing Dunsborough. And if beer isn’t your thing, choose from Aravina Estate’s choice of premium wines plus ginger beer and cider galore.
