YVB Belgian Beerfest 2026


The competitions keep coming this year, and the latest to launch is the Yarra Valley Brewers’ annual Belgian Beerfest.

There are a few exciting changes for this comp in 2026. First, the Yarra Valley Brewers have launched a new website and competition portal, making it much easier to find information and pay for your entries. Second, judging will be held at Hard Road Brewing in Bayswater. While it’s still a bit of a hike for many of us, it’s far more accessible than in previous years.

I (Brian) have already registered my interest in judging or stewarding at the event, so let me know if you sign up and we can coordinate transport.

Entries must be submitted, paid for, and dropped off by Saturday 9 May. Judging will take place on Sunday 17 May.

For more information, to enter, or to volunteer, head to the Yarra Valley Brewers website. It would be great to see a strong showing of Mashers supporting this event!
