Beer & Brewer and Sydney Beer Week Awards Night 2026

Beer & Brewer, in collaboration with Sydney Beer Week, is excited to announce the return of the Beer & Brewer Awards for its third year.

On Tuesday 20 October, we’re heading to Mountain Culture Beer Co. in Redfern for a night celebrating the breweries, venues and people that make Australia’s beer industry what it is.

The Beer & Brewer Awards recognise the people and businesses doing great things across the Australian beer industry – from breweries producing exceptional beer and venues championing the category, to the individuals making a real contribution to the industry.

Winners across a range of categories will be announced throughout the night, recognising achievement, innovation and the people helping to move Australian beer forward.

But while the awards are important, the night is also about bringing the industry together.

There’ll be plenty of award-winning Mountain Culture beer, along with beers from friends, great food and, most importantly, a room full of people from across the beer industry.

Brewers, publicans, venue operators, reps, suppliers, writers and plenty of familiar faces will all be there, making it a chance to catch up with old mates, finally meet the people you’ve spent years emailing and have a beer with the people you work alongside every day.

It’s deliberately relaxed. Come along, grab a beer, catch up with the industry and help us celebrate some very deserving winners along the way.

Whether you brew the beer, pour it, sell it, supply it, write about it or simply spend a lot of time championing Australian beer, we’d love to have you there.

Proudly presented by Beer & Brewer in collaboration with Sydney Beer Week, the Beer & Brewer Awards is our chance to recognise some of the great work happening across the industry – and get everyone together for a beer while we’re at it.

Because after another big year for Australian beer, there’s plenty worth raising a glass to.
