We are only 11 sleeps from catching up with hundreds of our very best friends at BrewCon23 and the Indies Awards on the sunny Gold Coast.

We’ve had quite a bit of demand for an expo only pass so that brewery team members not attending the conference still have the opportunity to visit their suppliers and industry partners.

You asked so we are pleased to announce that as of today you can now purchase an Expo Only pass (no seminars) for $100 pr day ($130 Non-IBA members) that includes access to the Expo from 2pm each day. Tickets for BrewCon23 can be purchased here.

Plus, for those wondering what activities are planned for the evening of Day One of the conference, we know there are a few informal gatherings being planned but if you’re looking for something cool to do please join us for the ‘Queensland Indie Brewer’s Sundowner Session’ at the Island in Surfers Paradise!

Supported by and featuring six local Queensland indie breweries including Aether Brewing, Black Hops Brewing, Moffat Beach Brewing, Revel Brewing, Valley Hops Brewing and Sealegs Brewing. Each brewery will join us for the session, taking over a tap each for the week. There’ll also be live tunes, heaps of sponsor giveaways and the chance to have a chat and cheeky one with our QLD brewer pals.

For smooth sailing from the GC Convention & Exhibition Centre, The Island has arranged a couple of free buses which will depart at 6pm and 6.15pm.
