Since its inception back in 2011, the Great Australasian Beer SpecTAPular (GABS) has been a beacon of connection between craft beer loving consumers and hundreds of craft breweries!

It is the only place in the world where you will get to try 120 brand new and exclusive festival beers, brewed by 120 different craft breweries, released on one day. In a show of support to the industry, GABS purchases over 80,000 litres, mostly from small independent breweries, of these unique brews.

GABS is all about consumers sharing their love of craft beer with good friends with a whopping 164,000 glasses of craft beer being enjoyed by consumers at GABS last year.  Being Australia’s biggest indoor beer festival, GABS provides a unique opportunity for consumers to support beers from over 150 different breweries, pouring from more than 500 beer taps, all in one day! 

It is well documented in the news that the craft beer industry has recently been faced with enormous challenges and the price of beer has been driven up by factors outside of breweries control.  

“We would love consumers to come out, support their favourite breweries and raise a glass to the vibrant world of craft beer and as such we have cut back our marketing investments to make this happen,”

Anyone purchasing a single entrance ticket before midnight on the 18th April will qualify for a $20 cashback drinks card that can be used to support the breweries with beer pouring at the festivals. Qualifying attendees will receive their cash card on arrival and will be able to use the card at any bar on the day. (*Terms & Conditions Apply).
