We gin-uinely have the best news! The Brisbane Gin Festival is returning for a fourth year, and it’ll be better than ever, taking place in the Brisbane Showgrounds Exhibition Building from Friday, April 4 to Sunday, April 6.
Get in the spirit because you’re in for a weekend of exploration, with 50 of Australia’s best distillers showcasing their most delicious and innovative creations. Eleven of the distillers are even making their festival debut, so you’ll be first in lime— err, line!
When it comes to these festival novices, visitors can look forward to tasting creations from Bunker Distillery, Three Wise Men Distillery, Island Coast Spirits, Hobson’s Distillery, Temple of Juniper, and Queensland’s own The Matilda Distilling Company, Sip & Banter Distillery, The Rare Orchid Distilling Co., Western Queensland Spirit, and Liquidus Distillery, with beloved local distillery Nosferatu returning.
