we’re back in 2024!

August 10th is the date and Footscray is the place. Tickets are on sale now - if you’re keen, we suggest getting in quick!

Just like the blobfish, sour, funky and wild beers emerge from the depths of the beer scene: intriguing, slightly obscure, and somewhat unknown, but always exciting.

Beer lovers are in for a treat this August in Melbourne! Blobfish Sour, Funk & Wild Beer & Food Festival returns, this time to the Hop Nation Taproom in Footscray, for a more intimate version of the much-loved festival and we cannot wait!
