The fifth annual festival, which runs on March 30 and 31, is the only event of its kind on mainland Australia.

A celebration of the Victorian hop harvest and the launch of fresh hop beers, this is a once-a-year opportunity to taste the freshest beers at the source.

Bridge Road Brewers will transform its brewery car park into a craft beer lovers' dream over the weekend-long event.

Eight craft brewers from the High Country Brewery Trail will pour their brews in the car park alongside North East winemakers and distillers. 

Bridge Road Brewers founder Ben Kraus said there were some new additions to the program from further afield.

“Joining the festival line-up are Wildflower Brewing and Blending from Sydney, whose barrel-aged blends are among the most artfully-crafted and exciting beers coming out of the country at the minute,” he said. 

The festival will also offer local wines, food trucks, glamping options, children's activities and live music.

Food will include everything from bao to barbecue while Gundowring Finest Ice Cream will offer some beer-inspired creations.

Festival entry is free but a $25 tasting pass gives access to a 100ml taster from each of the 10 participating breweries in a High Country Hops beer glass.
