FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The organisers of the Ballarat Beer Festival are ecstatic to announce the inaugural Ballarat Winterlude Beer Fest at the historic Mining Exchange Building in Ballarat, Saturday 23 & Sunday 24 July, 2016.
Attendees will stay toasty warm as they kick back and enjoy wonderful winter craft beer, delightful edibles and soulful tunes. Coinciding with the final weekend of the Ballarat Winterlude and held at the historic Mining Exchange Building, the Ballarat Winterlude Beer Fest is the perfect way to wrap up the month of wintery festivities.
The penultimate final weekend of July will turn Ballarat into a beer-filled winter wonderland attracting local punters alongside beer lovers from afar looking for a cosy weekend break in Ballarat.
The weekend will be filled with a diverse selection of winter craft beers from over sixteen Australian Brewers. A range of limited and rare craft beers are also being made available just for the weekend. This means punters can indulge in the rich flavours of an Irish Spiced Rum IPA, enjoy a flavoursome Stormy Lager, or excite their taste buds with the unique aroma of a Chocolate Milk Stout. For the more adventurous, we recommend the Metamorphosis IPA, coffee enthusiasts will enjoy the Black Dark Coffee Lager and the traditionalist, the Kol Schisel German Pale Ale.
The Ballarat Winterlude Beer Fest is held over three sessions; Saturday (12pm-6pm), Sunday (12pm-6pm) and a special Saturday night V.I.P party (6pm til late). Tickets range from $20-$60 and are available online at www.ballaratbeerfestival.com.au.
For those attending the V.I.P party on the Saturday night, expect brews perfectly matched to fine cuisine in a feast prepared by renowned chef Peter Ford, while kicking back to soulful tunes of legendary DJ Vince Peach. Vince has been a staple of Melbourne Cherry Bar’s Soul in the Basement events for over 15 years, and co-host with his brother on PBS-FM’s Soul Time for over 30. If there’s one thing he knows, it’s good tunes. So glam up, put on your dancing shoes and get ready for a rocking night.
