The best of the west’s brewing talents will be making their way down to Williamstown for the return of the Williamstown Beer and Cider.

Hosted on Saturday, November 26 from 12pm to 7pm at Seaworks, the festival will feature more than 100 beers and ciders from more than 20 independent breweries.

Event co-organiser Shane Graham said the event will be an opportunity to celebrate local production of beer and cider.

“We are excited to be back working with indie producers and local businesses,” he said.

“We are loving the support we are receiving from our patrons re-engaging with the event.”

“We are supporting the Les Twentyman Foundation again this year with our Giant Beer Raffle.”

Mr Graham said one of the highlight vendors will be one of Williamstown’s own beer brewers, Black Arts Brewers and Blenders.

“Williamstown’s only operating brewery is a small, conscious brewery ageing beer in repurposed oak barrels,” he said.

“We can’t wait to taste their beers at this year’s festival.”
