Port Macquarie Beer & Cider Festival

Westport Park, Port Macquarie, New South Wales 2444

With its serene Hastings River backdrop, the beloved Port Macquarie Beer & Cider Festival is back – showcasing over 50 different local and Australian beers and ciders!

Alongside the smorgasbord of live and local music – including William Crighton, Mitch King and Minnie Marks – the festival will feature some of Australia’s best beer and cider makers, including our mates from Capital Brewing Co, Franks Cider and Balter.

This year’s festival will also see the return of the ever popular Mid North Coast Beer Keg Toss with the return of previous champions hoping to retain their title. A nod to the long tradition of the Highland Games, the Beer Keg Toss relies on a combination of technique, timing and pure power to succeed. Festival organisers are looking for the best male and best female to take out $600 in cash and prizes. Competitors should register early to avoid disappointment via the website. Qualifying heats will be run throughout the day and the penultimate final will decide the winner.

The festival is a family event with the region’s best food market stalls, games, and kids activities and jumping castle. A special bus timetable will ensure attendees can enjoy the afternoon of tastings without having to worry about driving home.

We’ll be there pouring Pacific Ale, Green Coast Lager, Cloud Catcher and The Gatherer from our beer truck Trevor.
