The annual GABS Summer Invitational Craft Beer 8 Pack release raises the bar with some of the best new craft beers of 2024 on offer. 

Eight outstanding independent breweries from around Australia were selected to showcase the creativity, diversity, and world class quality you’ve come to expect from local breweries, and they certainly hit the brief for 2024.

With exclusive limited-edition releases from Aether, Akasha, Black Hops, Deeds, Goodland, Kaiju, Sailors Grave, and Your Mates inside the distinctive tropical box, you will discover a range of easy drinking summer brews, including a Pilsner, Dark Lager, Hazy Ale, Stout, IPA, Farmhouse Table Beer, and two Sours.

It’s not only a pack full of brilliant beers, there is the bonus of a $50 GABS merch voucher, two free Pringles snacks and an entry into a competition to win an all-expenses VIP trip for two to GABS Sydney 2024.

Head of First Choice Liquor Market, Michael Bornholdt, said, “We’re thrilled to launch the GABS Summer Invitational Pack as summer heats up. We know our craft beer-loving customers will jump at the opportunity to get their hands in this limited release pack hand-picked by the experts at GABS.”

There are only a limited number of these packs, so make sure you don’t miss out on the best new beers of 2024. The packs are available nationally through First Choice Liquor Market, Vintage Cellars and selected Liquorland stores from only $49.
