The 23rd sounds great
What time will this event be, and how many sessions? I’d like to buy tickets, but it seems like it’s not 100% confirmed? More details would be great. Cheers!
@Kelly – there’s only one session from 2pm to 8pm. It is confirmed. More details to follow.
Hi,
Are there more details about the beers that will be available? Cheers
Who will be at the event? Will there be new beers to sample? Is it similar to Beervana? Thanks
To Jenny,
I went to this last year, the event is much smaller than Beervana, and is much less hectic, but you will definilety not be disappointed with the beer selection and quality. I’m guessing if compared to last year there will be lots of local new releases and exotic imports from Hashigo Zake, all fresh from the tap.
A non profit event run by Soba that is fun and well organised.
@Jenny – heaps of new beers being released especially for this festival.
Will tickets be emailed or shipped to us? There was no shipping address, and no tickets attached to the order receipt email. Thanks.
@John – tickets will not be emailed or shipped. Pick up from the door with proof of purchase.
Hi Admin,
Ive got my ticket and just need to work out how much coin to put aside for this.
I assume a souvenir glass is provided and servings will be 200ml?
Will it be similar to City of Ales @$10 for 3 drinks?
Or will it vary due to the presence of some heavy hitters such as Mikkeller?
Cheers
@Kerry – No souvenir glass. The glasses are standard 280ml. There will be glass swap area to pick up a clean glass. The ticket includes 5 glasses and a plate of food. Extra 5 drink tickets can be purchased for $20. All beers will be the same cost.
Cheers.
Are there still tickets available?
@Jordan – Sorry this event is sold out. Next year we may make this a 2 day event.
Do you have to be a current soba member to attend?
You don’t, but it is sold out!
