UP&COMING

BREWERS BAR

Started in 2023 through our GABS Cares program, in partnership with Hop Products Australia (HPA), we are proud to continue with this initiative to support new and emerging Australian breweries through the Up & Coming Brewers Bar.

The GABS Festival Up & Coming Brewers Bar showcases four breweries who are new or emerging in each state. This is a fully sponsored opportunity for the selected breweries who will be offered a shared stand with all bar and beer tap equipment provided. In addition, the successful breweries receive up to 20kg of the highest quality Aussie, international or innovative hop products from our partners at HPA to make a sensational festival beer.
