At GABS, we’re all about sharing our love of craft beer and cider with as many people as possible through exceptional experiences.

With over 40,000 attendees across three cities (Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane) featuring exclusive festival brews, an exciting array of exhibitors, the GABS Academy, Konvoy Kegs Brewers Lounge, plus incredible entertainment and atmosphere, GABS has been described by influential US magazine The Beer Connoisseur as “one of the best beer festivals in the world”.

For today's discerning food and drink lover, both new and old, GABS is a true celebration of the creativity and diversity of craft. For some, it’s an introduction, for others a journey, and for all, it’s an incredibly fun festival experience.

Connecting breweries with trade and consumer, it is the biggest event on the local calendar, where you get to showcase your newest products, have them tested and rated by consumers and open opportunities with retailers and trade all over one wonderful weekend as you connect and catch up with your local and international peers to share your love for the industry.
