Great Australasian Beer SpecTAPular hunt for volunteers

The Great Australasian Beer SpecTAPular (GABS) is back for 2014 and looking for 420 volunteers.

Volunteers are needed across all sessions on Friday 23, Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 May 2014. We particularly need volunteers with Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) certificates to serve beer behind the GABS bars.

At GABS there will be more than 250 beers showcased by around 150 Australian and international brewers including up to 120 unique beers brewed just for the festival and around 30 merchant stands. It will promote better beer to its rightful standing where quality reigns over quantity. It will be the event on the beer festival calendar for 2014.

There will be a range of volunteer roles and each will be integral to GABS’ success. We are looking for enthusiastic people to help with:

• Front of house; greeting and processing festival attendees and providing event information
• Beer service; pouring beer and helping to keep the bars working
• Beer education; supporting the Craft Beer College and people to enjoy the festival
• Brewery support; supporting the brewery bars that will line the festival walls

In return for volunteering, each GABS volunteer can attend a free session and will receive a festival glass, $20 worth of beer and food tokens. All volunteers will also receive an exclusive GABS volunteer t-shirt.

People interested in volunteering can register online here.
