The GABS Hottest 100 Kiwi Craft Beers was launched off the popular Australian poll back in 2016. Designed for consumers, the GABS Hottest 100 provides an opportunity for all beer enthusiasts to celebrate their favourite brews and continues to provide a valuable snapshot of the brands, beers and styles shaping craft beer in any given year.

Beer drinkers are asked to select, in order of preference, their five favourite craft beers of the year and after months of lockdowns, with more packaged craft beer than ever being consumed at home, this year’s campaign is expected to be one of the most exciting ever!

New Zealand nominations are free and now open for this year’s campaign on the GABS TRADE HUB with all craft beers sold in 2021 qualifying, whether widely available around the country, or indeed limited to a single keg that sold out in a local taproom.

This year, the team at GABS have invested in a new voting portal which will provide a great opportunity for breweries to put their range in front of thousands of potential new fans. All voters will qualify for the draw to win a share of 100 tickets to GABS Festival Auckland 2022.

You can also register your venue as an official countdown host venue as you throw the party of all parties on the 5th February 2022. It is a fantastic day to get the taps flowing while your patrons enjoy the live countdown.

Get your nominations in before 5pm (NZDT) on Friday 10th December and give your fans the pleasure of celebrating your great beers and toasting the health of this incredible industry!
