Cast Your Vote in the 2024 GABS Can Design Awards

Every year, there are awards for the best craft beers in the country, but what about the awesome artwork on the cans themselves?

That’s where the 2024 GABS Can Design Awards presented by Orora comes in! This is a people’s choice award celebrating the creativity behind those eye-catching designs.

We’re super proud of our entry this year – the Fresh Hop Monster Double IPA, a collaboration we made with our friends at KAIJU Beer. The artwork is designed by the talented Clint Weaver from Pocketbeagles.

With this beer being a collaboration with Kaiju, we wanted a monster (thus the name) that felt inspired by their brand but with a Bright twist to it. Using comic book inspired line work, hand drawn typography and a bold colour palette, the Hop Monster in question is raging over the HPA hop farms which sit nearby the picturesque Ovens River which runs through Bright. Is the monster destroying it? Or planting new hops? Who knows, but it’s angry!

Voting is open now until Sunday, August 25.  All voters will be entered into a draw to win one of 100 tickets to GABS 2025!

Voting open now in the 2023 GABS Can Design Awards

Voting in the much-anticipated GABS Can Design Awards, presented by Orora, have officially kicked off on Friday 4th August.

These awards applaud the industry’s most inventive ‘outside-the-tin’ thinkers and shine a light on the artistry in craft beer can design. And guess what? By casting your vote, you stand a chance to win one of 100 tickets to a 2024 GABS Festival session. How’s that for a sweet deal?

We’re incredibly excited to announce that our Mecharoo Yuzu Sour Hazy IPA is among the entrants this year. The design, created by the gifted Clint Weaver of Pocketbeagles Studio, embodies a unique blend of Australian and Japanese elements.

Drawing inspiration from our collaboration with Japanese brewery Coedo, the can’s design pulsates with cultural synergy and animated vivacity. The design brief sought an “anime-inspired” illustration style that marries Australian kangaroos and Japanese Yuzu fruit. The outcome? A visually stunning “Mecharoo” – a colossal robot kangaroo that’s as spectacular as it sounds, set against a backdrop that clearly nods to the Yuzu inclusion.

Voting remains open until Sunday, August 20.
