Yes, it’s exciting news for beer and chilli lovers!

“We are keen to show off our space to as many new people as possible so we jumped at the change to host Briz Chilli and Beer Fest with Scarlett at the helm,” said Alex.

This will be the fourth Briz Chill Fest which is dropping its Halloween theme for 2024 due to the event falling too far from a weekend.

“I think Halloween is fun when it’s really close to the weekend, so I’ve decided to rebrand to a Beer Fest this year, and mothball the Halloween decorations,” said organiser, Scarlett Habanero.

We’ll of course be having Hellfire Alley, full of chilli products from new and established vendors.  This is a great opportunity for chilli lovers to try lots of new products and go home with some awesome boutique products not available in stores.

The kids will have lots to occupy themselves with a pony rides, animal nursery, puppet shows, craft, story-telling and the good old chilli-sack races first made popular at Chillogan – Logan Chilli Festival  – in 2022.

“The beer will be flowing, the chilli will be burning, four chilli challenges on centre stage, world-class live music by resident guitarist, Sean Mullen, and other guests, costume awards for adults, kids and even the four-legged friends who come along.

Don’t forget the limited VIP Couple Experience Tickets – only six lucky tables on sale.
