Crafted Beer Festival returns to Newcastle this November

Newcastle, get ready to raise your glass and say cheers. Crafted Beer Festival is returning for its second year on Saturday 22 November 2025, pouring into Newcastle Foreshore and transforming it into a frothy craft beer playground. With 30+ breweries, over 250 individual brews, and an unbeatable mix of live music, food, and cocktails, this is a day set to be brewed to perfection for beer lovers and festival-goers alike.

The festival lineup includes some of Australia’s most iconic names alongside Newcastle’s own brewing talent. Confirmed breweries include 4 Pines Brewing Co, Brookvale Union, Common People Brewing Co, Drink West, FELLR, Good Folk Brewing, King Tide Brewing, Range Brewing, Sanctus Brewing Co, Shout Brewing Co, Six String Brewing Company, Small Acres Cyder, Sundowner Brewing Co, Sydney Brewery, Wandana Brewing Co, Wooden Axe Brewing Co, Accent Brew Co, offering a hop-infused sparkling water that captures all the flavour of craft beer without the alcohol, and Foghorn Brewery, a fantastic local addition making its Crafted debut. With even more breweries still to be tapped, this year’s lineup is shaping up to be a hop-packed showcase of the very best.

Festival-goers can tuck into a feast from The Mexican Cantina, Lambda Sydney, Smokin Swine BBQ, The Burger Head, and G-free Donuts, with more culinary surprises brewing behind the scenes. Granddad Jack’s Cocktail Bar will return with inventive creations, ensuring there’s plenty to sip, sample, and savour all day long.

Music will be front and centre, with Beddy Rays headlining and supporting acts Le Shiv, Thirst Trap, Jet City Sports Club, and Loons already confirmed. Additional artists will be announced in the coming weeks, promising a soundtrack as refreshing as the first sip of an ice-cold pale ale.

With waterfront views, craft beer from across the country, and local flavours in every corner, Crafted Beer Festival Newcastle is set to brew up a storm and become one of the most un-missable events on the Hunter Region’s 2025 calendar.
