Bendigo Beer

31/08/2026

Volunteering has never been so demanding and exhausting.

We started this event in 2014 - before kids, mortgages, senior jobs, businesses, school pickups, after school sports... before COVID neverending inflation.

Which makes 2026 our most cherished and favourite festival so far. This year was a GRIND ... a legit absolute GRIND.

To our amazing volunteers, thank you.

To our venues and breweries who have been doing the grind full time, we hope you got some $ through.
And thank you.

Lastly, our generous and passionate sponsors Crafty Pint Explore Bendigo bettercup.® Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival Inc. ... we thank you.

See you on 28 August 2027.

BREWERY ROUNDTABLE
Heading to Bendigo On The Hop today and want to hear from some of the minds involved in the beers behind the day?

From 1:30-2:30 pm at the Festival Hub, we'll be hosting a roundtable discussion with brewers and reps from some of the breweries featured at the festival this year.

Hear about the stories behind some of the festival beers, the state of the independent beer industry in Australia, and the world of beer in general.

We'll see you there!
