The impact of Covid on the events industry has been immeasurable. The HomeBrewed team will continue to work with SA Health to present the event in a format in which impositions are felt as little by the punter as possible. We will inform all ticket holder closer to the date as to what these procedures will be.

As a condition in our Covid Management Plan, without which the event cannot proceed, all patrons, staff, exhibitors, artists and contractors (ie everyone on site) over the age of 12 must be fully vaccinated. Patrons with valid medical exemptions may be admitted.

We have a duty of care to provide a safe environment for everyone involved in the festival and undertake to do all that is necessary to restrict the spread of COVID-19 and protect the vulnerable in our community. After such a hugely disruptive and restrictive period for artists and the arts industry, our COVID-Safe management measures are made, in the midst of one of the deadliest pandemics in history, in genuine good faith and concern for the broadest possible portion of our society. They are made not only in order to be permitted to conduct large-scale, general admission festivals during a pandemic, but also as a considered response to a public health requirement in these extraordinary time based on the best possible advice from the scientists and health professionals best qualified to advise on such matters of public health.

Note this does not mean all Beer & BBQ Festival and HomeBrewed events will continue to be "Vax-only" forever. We are not yet able to make a decision about the winter, Beer & BBQ Festival, until closer to the time.

We would like to acknowledge that the land that HomeBrewed is hosted on at the Adelaide Showground is the traditional land of the Kaurna people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their Country. We also acknowledge the Kaurna people as the traditional custodians of the Adelaide region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today. We respect the Elders of the Kaurna people, past, present and emerging.

HomeBrewed is a safe and inclusive space for all patrons, vendors, staff and performers. We encourage participation from all members of the community free from prejudice and discrimination. Our staff are trained in protective and preventative measures such as ‘Ask For Angela’ to ensure the safety of patrons. We strongly urge anyone who sees something out of place to report this to staff so appropriate action can be taken.

This is to ensure speed of service, increased security and ease of transactions at the many Bars, Food Outlets and Vendor Stalls. Most importantly, there will be no need to wait in lines, counting out coins to buy a beer, as your friends get thirsty for your round!

It’s super simple to use – just like using PayWave at the pub – make sure you bring your credit card, bank card or phone with PayWave capabilities to the festival and have money in your bank! Then let the exhibitor know what you would like to purchase, they will ring up the transaction on their device. Then tap your card against the Square device at each stall and bingo, the transaction is complete, start enjoying your beers!

The approximate price guide at HomeBrewed is:
120ml sample of any beer or cider: from $2.50
Full 425ml beer or cider: from $8 (depending on the ABV%)
Food: $10.00 – $30.00

HomeBrewed is a celebration of all things South Aussi. With a strong focus on great craft beer, distilleries, cideries and winemakers. Check the Libations lineup on this website.

HomeBrewed will take place in an open air site in and around the Showground's greenest space, Hamilton Boulevard. HomeBrewed is an outdoor event and we play rain, hail or shine. It is January and it is Adelaide so it may well be hot. Dress appropriately, keep hydrated and drink responsibly. The show will go on rain or shine.

To ensure you do not miss out you will need to pre-purchase tickets for each session. When the session is sold out it is sold out! If there are tickets left for any given session they will be available on the door, but this is not guaranteed.

HomeBrewed is strictly 18+ for all sessions apart from Sunday. This means that although we trust that little baby Sunny strapped to you likely won’t be getting on the Denzel Frothington’s, they still can’t come with you on Friday or Saturday, sorry.

Each paid ticket holding adult is permitted to bring 1x minor OR 1x canine (see conditions re dogs below) at no cost. Each minor (or the adult accompanying them) is asked to contribute $5 to a HomeBrewed not-for-profit partner at the point of entry. Strictly 1 (one) minor per parent or guardian permitted. This applies only to the Sunday session only; all other sessions are strictly 18+

Your favourite four-legged friend will be able to join you at the Sunday session. You may bring in one accompanied canine or minor per adult. If your dog isn’t dog and people friendly, we recommend you leave them at home. Your dog will be required to be on leash at all times and if HomeBrewed staff determine it to be not behaving appropriately then we reserve the right to refuse entry and to remove the dog and it’s owner.

HomeBrewed runs a volunteer programme for all sessions where you can lend your services to one session and receive a ticket to another session plus some festival bucks in return.

Volunteer positions cover many areas of the event from wristbanding at entry, to assisting with health directions and even pouring beers. You will get to meet great crew and be a part of the HomeBrewed family!

Please register your interest in volunteering by emailing iwannawork@gaentertainment.com.au

Unfortunately not. One of the disappointing side affects of Covid-19 is that 5 years of sustainability strategy needs to be parked for now. All beverages and food will need to be served in a single use vessel (for now). We are devo.

We at HomeBrewed are committed to throwing the best event we can, but the reality is some lineup changes might happen and if they do we will endeavor to replace them with artists, brewers and chefs as close to the original lineup as possible. A lineup change is not a valid reason for a refund of a ticket, it's just life in a pandemic.

If you are prevented from making the show by reason of a government mandated border closure we will invite refunds on that basis.

In the event that the festival needs to be postponed or rescheduled a window of opportunity to refund your ticket if you cannot make the new date after the announcement of the new date will be afforded to you.
