Adelaide's Beer & BBQ Festival was one of many events to fall foul of COVID-19 but thanks to SA's return to relative normality the team is turning the epic winter festival into a summer bash instead.
BBF HomeBrewed was originally scheduled to take place at the Adelaide Showgrounds from December 4 to 6 before the organisers were forced to shuffle things once more and landed upon new dates of February 5 to 7.
The festival will once again combine local brewers, BBQ legends and live music.
This time, the brewing talent mostly comes from SA's vibrant scene but there will be a sprinkling of interstate visitors at the COVID-Safe festival. You can view the full lineup here.
Organiser Aaron Sandow said: “We are thrilled to be able to give people the BBF experience again, although in a different format, with an open-air festival."
He says it will be "like the upstart little sibling of Beer & BBQ Fest, with a mantra to showcase South Australia’s world-class producers, giving revellers the chance to enjoy a huge selection of local beers, global BBQ flavours and rock’n’roll all weekend.”
Punters can expect a focus on summery styles across the board – sours, gose, seafood, Asian BBQ and lager-itas – with the full brewer lineup set to be released nearer the time. Confirmed attendees can be found below.
Locked-in live acts include The Superjesus, West Thebarton, Wolf & Cub, Towns, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Weezer, Sabitha & the Knifey Wifeys, Oscar the Wild, Hey Harriet and Chunky Custard.
On the BBQ front, you'll be able to tuck into food from Afri-disiac, Angler Stirling, Barry’s Burgers, Boston Bay, Smallgoods by Smoking Grillers, CARÕclub, Drew’s Soul Food & BBQ, Four Seeds, No Beard Required BBQ, Gang Gang, Lovefield Bistecca Italian BBQ, Fire x SOI 38, and a few sneaky surprises yet to be announced. There will be vegan and vegetarian options too.
Add in the infamous "beer bod" wet t-shirt championship, discoteca silenciosa, a tiki bar, carnival rides, barber, markets, a chilli eating competition and you've got a full-on three days:
- Feb 5: Froth Town Friday
- Feb 6: Beer Nerd Saturday day session and Super Saturday night session
- Feb 7: Sneaky Sunday – child and pooch friendly
