Well what can I say, it was an overwhelming success. Blue sky,warm day, excellent location and enough beer to keep you drinking all day. For an entry fee of $35 you got entry to the beer fest, tasting glass, 5 beer tokens and entry to the train museum.
With plenty of room to move between brewers and/or spread out on the grass, it made for a very relaxed atmosphere.
Our pick for the Ale of the show, 2 Birds Brewing Summer Ale - a light and refreshing Ale that allowing a glimpse of the crystal malt to come through the hops.

Our pick for dark beer of the show is Holgate's Temptress - a chocolate porter made with vanilla beans and a texture so smooth it will be gone before you know it.
The crowds built up after lunch, but the early birds found some seriously good tucker down in the food tents.
The first shout out goes to the organisers for having these guys and a few more around to make sure nothing got out of hand.
The second shout out goes to The Hills Cider Co for coming all the way from the Adelaide Hills to make the event.
Cheers to the organisers for putting on such a spectacular event and we look forward to next year.
