AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND DESIGN AWARDS

Over 100 of Australia & New Zealand’s most creative breweries threw their best can designs into the ring for this year’s GABS Design Awards. From bold brews to jaw-dropping art, every entry was showcased in our epic digital gallery, and thousands of beer lovers tapped in to vote for their favourites.

For Australia, Capital Brewing Co took out the top spot with their eye-popping Tokyo Draft Rice Lager can, designed by the ultra-talented Mick Healy.

In New Zealand, Garage Project’s Good Things Come To Those Who Wait designed by Adam Macauley was crowned number one.

At GABS, we reckon great beer deserves great art, and we’re stoked to join our awesome sponsors, Orora, Opal & Big Outdoor, in raising a toast to the ridiculously talented designers turning cans into collectable works of art.

CARES

Started in 2021, GABS Cares has been created by the GABS Craft Beer Festival team to support and give back to various beer industry initiatives and good community charitable causes within Australia.

BELLRINGER HALL OF FAME

Since GABS began, we’ve had a little tradition in place, where we invite one of the most influential brewers, cidermakers, or just all-round awesome people to ‘ring the bell’ to open and close every GABS session. While it may sound like a simple thing, it’s become a true ‘badge of honour’ for all GABS Bellringers.
