What is BAD?

It's simple really.
Pick a bunch of amazing breweries and add some other tasty fermented beverages.
Make sure to include your favourite locals, outstanding regulars and some new breweries as well.
Invite some great musicians and a funky DJ.
Get some tasty food on board that goes down well with tasty beverages.
Set it up in the grounds of a beautiful historic house surrounded by stunning gardens.
Limit numbers so there are no lengthy queues.
Be happy.
Job done.

Lineup

And here it is!
Old faves, local legends, new-to-BADs, back-to-BADs, and our good mates from Sacred Hill Winery for the very first time!
