Tokens

Activities

How do they work?Tokens are the official currency of Bitter & Twisted Boutique Beer Festival. The tokens are used for tastings of beer and wine, soft drinks, food, coffee and official festival merchandise. Tokens can be purchased at a minimum of three for $5.00. All stalls where tokens are used will have clearly marked token values on display for their product.

Where can I buy tokens?Watch out for a number of Bitter & Twisted volunteers who will be wandering throughout the site selling tokens (cash sales only). If you can’t see one close by you can also buy tokens from the official festival merchandise stall (cash and EFTPOS facilities available).

Unused tokensAt the end of the festival, tokens that you haven’t used cannot be redeemed for cash. We suggest purchasing tokens in smaller quantities if you are unsure of how many you will use.

Cash / EftposThere is limited opportunity to use cash and EFTPOS. It is valid currency for general stalls and official festival merchandise. No cash out on site.

HOME BREW MASTERCLASSESDo you have an interest in home brewing? Stop by A-wing on Saturday, and after a crash course through the beer making process, flavour and feel identification, you’ll be given the chance to test your palate through blind tastings whilst voting for your favourite brew from the five samples. On Sunday join in on the beer style evaluation and discussions.
