THE Adelaide Convention Bureau announced that it will be hosting two major beverage-themed events this year, slated to boost business arrivals in the state of South Australia.
CIBA’s executive officer Chris McNamara said that delegates from New Zealand and various parts of Asia will attend the event to exchange innovative ideas and methodologies in the world of craft brewing.
He added, “It is a sign of our high brewing standards and the regard with which the Australian craft brewing industry is held.”
Food Processing reported that premium and craft beers have overtaken big mainstream brands in terms of Australia’s market share while more beer manufacturers are looking for ways to differentiate their brands.
There are no less than 150 boutique breweries in Australia and many of them bank on marketing, packaging, and labeling to build a strong connect with the market.
Meanwhile, the world Whiskies and Spirits Conference will also be held in Adelaide after organizers were attracted to South Australia’s healthy agricultural and viticultural industries. Since its debut in 2006, the event was only ever held in London, Scotland, and New York.
