Are you ready for a weekend filled with good food, ‘hoppy’ friends and to wrap your taste buds around some of the world’s most unique brews from talented brewers all over Australia and New Zealand? Melbourne’s GABS Festival is back for its eighth year kicking off on Friday 18th May at the Royal Exhibition.

A unique element to GABS is the eclectic mix of festival beers brewed especially for the event. It gives brewers an opportunity to get creative in their craft, experimenting with their wildest beery dreams and new recipes. For our brewers, it means jumping on the Pilot Brewery decks to produce tasty Pilot Batches which will be pouring at our stall.

We want to bring this experience to you at GABS 2018!

It’s competition time – Let’s Brewstorm

This year, we’re creating a space at GABS for you to touch, taste, smell and explore what goes into our beers. Brewstorm a beer using the ingredients displayed and you could win a trip to Byron to brew your beer with the crew, we’ll even tap it at GABS 2019!

We’ll have a selection of premium malts from local and overseas, a large range of flavoursome and aromatic Aussie hops, as well as a variety of native ingredients, spices and other additives. It’ll be the ultimate hoppy wonderland for beer geeks and beer lovers to brewstorm up their dream beer and have the chance to bring it to life with our brewers.
