Independent Brewers Association

Did you know we have a partnership with Australia Post that provides exclusive, discounted freight for our members? You can find a rate card for your area and get started easily via your member log in. We know every little saving helps at the moment so thought we'd post a wee reminder! https://lnkd.in/gbXADYCm

The Tasmanian Government have formally announced the commencement of the states' container deposit scheme for mid-2025. Brewers in Tasmania and selling packaged product into the market now have six months to transition to the program.

A strong brewery micro control program begins with good practices, vendor assurance and robust cleaning routines and it’s essential for ensuring the safety, quality and consistency of brewery products. Thanks to our Quality Program partners' Fermentis by Lesaffre our members now have access to a comprehensive guide to implement or enhance a microbiological control program in your brewery, look no further than this Best Practice guide.

Have you registered for our next Mash Up in Brisbane on 11 October 2024? There is a heap of advocacy going on at the moment and we'd love to talk to you about our strategy and hear your ideas. Thanks to Bintani you can join us Revel Brewing Company for post Fermentis Academy beers and ideas sharing.

There is a lot going on in the brewing industry in Victoria and thanks to our partners Bintani you can be part of the conversation at our next Mash Up in Melbourne on 9 October.

We've been putting the pressure on Government to help independent brewers. Members - we need you to help us by providing some acurate economic data so that we have up to date information to advocate with. We know its a pain - but its super important and will genuinely make a difference. Thanks to our partners Bintani for supporting this important work. It genuinely wouldn't be possible without them. #askforindiebeer

The IBA are keeping our foot on the gas when it comes to advocacy, and our members are doing the same – change takes time, but collective action works. We’re entering the next Federal Election season and all of our voices have never been more important.

Bintani have had sustainability at the forefront for sometime now and their wonderful community focused clear plastic recovery program has now expanded to Adelaide. Its a great program for the environment and we know that many of our members are getting involved. You can also win a $100 gift card just for participating. Check out all the details in the link below. #askforindiebeer

East Coast Canning + Printing get it! There has never been a more important time for people who care about the beer they drink (and the price of it) to get involved.

In a challenging economic environment, having key supply-chain partners’ committed to using innovation and determination to tackle a significant problem for industry is something we should all celebrate. And here at the IBA we are very grateful. Its no secret that keg theft has been a real problem this year. In this weeks’ Drinks Adventures Podcast, you can hear from Konvoy's CEO about how their technology tracked missing kegs to a handful of scrapyards, giving police the evidence they needed to bring offenders to justice. #askforindiebeer
