Fairfield
VIC 3078
www.bogsfootwear.com.au
Bogs Footwear’s history started over a decade ago in Portland, Oregon, initially providing comfortable waterproof footwear to the Oregon farm community. And, as word of mouth grew about the Bogs boot range and their waterproof comfort, many local craft brewers started choosing the boots to keep them warm and dry in the brewery.
Bogs is now an international operation with an office in Melbourne, and has started to gain a following not only in the rural community in Australia but across many other markets, including breweries, outdoor stores and snow shops.
If you spend all day on your feet then you owe it to yourself to get a pair of Bogs. Choose from a wide range of styles for men and women – check it out here and watch our video shot at Bodriggy here.
We make comfortable footwear for uncomfortable conditions.

GOOD BEER WEEK IS “THE BEST BEER WEEK IN THE WORLD”, ACCORDING TO MANY OF THE WORLD’S LEADING CRAFT BREWERS, AND WILL TAKE PLACE ON MAY 15 - 24 2020, IN MELBOURNE.
In ten years, it has grown from the spark of an idea to a global festival made up of more than 300 diverse and innovative events across Melbourne and Victoria that attracts seventy five thousand attendees from across Australia and overseas.
Run by an independent, not-for-profit association, the program has grown almost 500 percent in size since launching in May 2011 and in 2020 it celebrates its 10th year with a lineup that features guests from around the world, masterclasses, degustations, live music and more.
It is Australia’s preeminent beer event, one that has inspired imitators interstate and in New Zealand, and is well placed to achieve its founders’ stated goal of establishing the leading beer festival in the Asia Pacific region. It is the biggest single platform for local brewers and beer businesses to showcase themselves to a broad audience and also plays host to the Australian International Beer Awards (AIBA) and the three-day GABS Beer, Cider, Food & Festival at the Royal Exhibition Building.
