The lineup for this year’s Good Beer Week in Melbourne is taking shape, with the 2012 festival set to be considerably bigger and – we hope – even better than last year’s triumphant debut. Event submissions closed on Australia Day, with around 80 registered across Melbourne and Victoria by breweries, beer bars, bottleshops, fine dining restaurants, cocktail bars, tour operators and more. They encompass everything from sorbets and chocolate to artwork and spit roasts, with a host of interstate and international breweries in attendance, plus the odd celebrity chef and, according to the festival’s events manager Kate Paterson, “even something to keep Star Wars fans happy”.

The Good Beer Week team is now compiling these proposed events into a program to run from May 12 to 19. The full program will be launched in print and online mid-March, giving punters two months to pick their favourite events and get prepared.
