The two-day event runs until Saturday at the venue in Bank Plain, which has been transformed into a German-themed Bierkeller.

Tickets were already sold out ahead of the annual beer festival, with afternoon and evening sessions available, and there is authentic German beers and food to enjoy, including the world famous Bavarian bratwurst sausage.
