HOW TO REGISTER
SIGN UP to our trade newsletter to keep up to date with all GABS announcements to make sure you don’t miss out!
The more information you have ready to go when registering your brew, the better! We’ll ask you for details around your festival brew style, name, ABV and special ingredients.
Once you’ve completed your registration, the GABS team will be in touch with confirmation and provide information on the next steps regarding our keg order. While we will make every effort to accommodate all registrations, we are restricted to the limited number of taps available and reserve the right to select participating brews at our absolute discretion.
EMBARGO
To ensure that GABS attendees can be amongst the first in the world to try your Festival Brew, we place a strict embargo on when those beers may be sold outside of the events.
GABS Festival will be on tour in 2025 starting in Melbourne on 4 April and ending in Sydney on 31 May. Your festival brew is under embargo until the closing bell on 31 May after which time it may be sold in keg bottle or can anywhere in the world.
THE NUMBERS
GABS will pay a set amount for your keg based upon the ABV % of your brew. These prices include excise but exclude GST. Note, pricing displayed is for festival brews. For festival cocktail pricing, please email us at contact@gabs.beer
Keg order quantity TBC
logistics
All kegs required for your festival brew will be provided to you by our festival partner.
GABS will deliver necessary keg collars directly to you.
Once you’ve filled the kegs with your delicious creation and labelled them as required, ship them to our cold store warehouse (location TBC) where they will be consolidated and freighted to each of the festivals by us.
All festival Brews will be served from the GABS Festival Bars. GABS Exhibitors with a festival beer submission are encouraged to serve their festival brew from their stand as well with any extra fun flourishes!
