In a much-anticipated return, Blobfish Beer Festival is back at North Melbourne’s iconic Meat Market.

Like the Blobfish itself, sour, funky and wild beers emerge from the depths of the beer scene – intriguing, slightly obscure, somewhat unknown but always exciting. Get set to sip a diverse range of sours, saisons, barrel-aged brews, fruity concoctions and rare small-batch runs from 22 breweries across Australia and New Zealand.

Tickets include 60mL tasters of all 44 festival beers from all 22 breweries, a Blobfish branded festival glass and a festival tasting guide.
