Craft beer is about local ingredients, flavour and aroma. It’s about enjoying a quality product with friends and living life with a little flair. In the last three years, the number of craft beer venues in central Victoria has grown from a handful to over fifty, in part due to the hard work and dedication from the team at Bendigo Beer.

Bendigo On The Hop, Australia’s best winter craft beer festival, will once again pair some of the finest venues in town and Australia’s best breweries.

Tickets on sale now. 

This year we have 10 participating venues (including a pop up HUB PUB for the first time featuring The Cambrian Bendigo) and 28 breweries showcased.

Your ticket will include a souvenir glass for tastings, and an event booklet that includes one free sample from every brewery (28).

When purchasing your ticket, please select your starting venue. This is where you will check in from 11am on the day to collect your glass and booklet. Once checked in you can move around to the other venues at your leisure.
