GABS, WHERE GOOD FRIENDS MEET FOR A BEER!

 

 

GABS HOTTEST 100

436 of Australia’s best craft breweries had beers nominated and voted for in the 16th edition of the annual GABS Hottest 100 Craft Beer poll as consumers were treated to a plethora of highly entertaining voting campaigns proving the creativity of brewers extends far beyond the mere act of brewing beer!

After tens of thousands of votes had been counted, Mountain Culture Beer Co’s much loved Status Quo Pale Ale has gone back-to-back and been crowned Australia’s favourite craft beer for the second year running!

Congratulations!

 

 

KIWI HOTTEST 100 RESULTS ANNOUNCED

It’s a repeat with Behemoth Brewing Co’s phenomenal Brain Smiles Pale Ale claiming top spot on the podium for the second year! Parrotdog Birdseye retains the silver medal spot and Garage Project’s Tiny Non-Alc Hazy IPA becomes the first ever non-alcoholic beer to appear on a GABS Hottest 100 podium ever! Check out all the results.

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.
