Experience the Bendigo Beer
Home Brew Comp

Taste unique homebrews, win prizes, and influence the People’s Choice winner.

Come join us for a relaxing day out, as we showcase the local talents of Bendigo home brewers.

Each year, we Bendigo partner with the Bendigo and Districts Home Brew Club to present the best home brew competition Bendigo has to offer.

Your ticket gets you a taste of each unique homebrew, a chance at winning beer-related items on lucky door prizes, and the opportunity to influence the crowning of the People’s Choice winner.

Each year the range of beer styles becomes more diverse, as aspiring brewers challenge themselves by brewing traditional styles, as well as styles that are “on-trend”.

Whether you are a newcomer or a craft beer tragic, you’re sure to find more than a few beers that you’ll enjoy.

When:  TBA 2024

Where: Cambrian Hotel Bendigo

Tickets: $10 and available at the door the day of the event.
