jennyss Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 @ozdevil, I had a look at the GABS website - wow! One for the young or young at heart - lots of fun and lots of beer and interesting people to meet. However, the website is not that up-front about the prices. You think it is good value? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all passionate about their craft & produce some very good beers. @MitchBastard deserves a mention too with his newly formed https://www.padre.beer/ Some of you would remember his journey on here getting to winning competitions, actually working in a brewery & now opening his own. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kegory Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 That looks like quite a challenge: 5 sessions, 60 exhibitors. There must be around 500-600 beers to try. I guess some are ciders. What's your budget for this @ozdevil? Even if only trying the tasting paddles it doesn't look like there'd be much change from $1k. The Melbourne event is conveniently close enough to my birthday to treat myself to it. Wouldn't leave any time for golf that weekend, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kegory Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Hmm, I've probably over-estimated the number of beers and under-estimated the cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussiekraut Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I'd love to go to GABS but will be overseas when the Brisbane event is on I missed out last year because I wasn't going to risk Covid a week before I was about to board a plane overseas and the year before it was a no show. Maybe next year I can go again. I liked it when I was there. So many good beers to try and so many brewers to chat to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhtred Of Beddanburg Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 @ozdevil so you still aren't sure about the arvo sessions yet but got the pass just in case? I may have to give this a go myself. Day time sounds good enough time to get trains etc without getting lost and waking up in a park 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhtred Of Beddanburg Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 wonder what they do if you go to both sessions in a day? kick you out for hour and half or you get to stay in? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day time sounds good enough time to get trains etc without getting lost and waking up in a park I am pretty certain about going to the Arvo sessions as its much easier for me to get home then heading to a night session and getting the choo choo train back out to where i am and dont want to be spending over $100 bucks + on uber or taxi just to get home if i do hang around for a night session (may happen as i may play golf in the Morning then head in the arfternoon on the Saturday catch tail end of arvo and then do part of the night session on Saturday 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that is an interesting one . Spescially for those with season passes. anthor way you can do this is by volunteering to work at gabs which gives you 2 free entries to another session and if your shift finishes mid session you can hang around and enjoy a beer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kegory Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Wow, there is a seriously daunting amount of beers to try, plus tasty (not necessarily healthy) food, and events and activities plus music. Here are a few snaps from late in Session 1 at the Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
