Organisers of the event, On and One Events (001) Limited, gave reasons for the postponement.
The mini brewery (Sensor Room) was on display to showcase the process of brewing Star Lager Beer from the grain to glass.
The company, which is the foremost brewer in Nigeria, revved up the atmosphere as its leading brands became the toast of the teeming crowd who had thronged the Atlantic Water Front, venue of the festival.
The event starts daily with thousands of fun seekers trooping in to the waterfront to enjoy the carnival week of entertainment, sales and gathering of the largest community of beer consumers from across the country.
