Tickets are selling fast for the Great Australian Beer SpecTAPular 2015, the organisers have warned.

It’s just five weeks until the famous bell rings to kick off GABS 2015 (with GABS Sydney the following Saturday).

“Ticket sales are the strongest they’ve ever been with the Beer Buddy and Season Pass tickets hugely popular,” organisers Guy Greenstone and Steve Jeffares said.

This week GABS was listed in Beer Connoisseur magazine in the US as one of the best 20 beer festivals in the world.

“The entire GABS team are naturally thrilled by the recognition and to be listed in the same company as some incredible international beer festivals.”

In further updates, Greenstone and Jeffares said the Coopers festival glasses have been finished and the Official Guide was finished last week by Beer & Brewer magazine.

“At 40 pages, is the biggest yet, chock full of information and tasting tools.”

Finally, the GABS organisers said they are still looking for volunteers, especially for GABS Sydney.

“If you know anyone who wants to join our great team and get a free GABS ticket and other great perks, please send them here.”
