As thoughts turn to a traditional roast Turkey (paired with a locally made Saison or Belgian-style Tripel) or the more modern Christmas seafood (prawns pair beautifully with the many excellent Pilsners available these days and – of course – the oysters with stout), the team at Brews News would like to thank you for your engagement and support through 2023.

Brews News only exists because of the many brewers and industry suppliers that support us, and also because of the incredible engagement of readers such as yourself. Your support, whether through advertising or sponsorship, or just through taking the time to read and engage with our content through another year, is greatly appreciated.

On behalf of the team, I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas, however you celebrate it, safe holidays and a prosperous New Year.

After the challenges of the last years, that last phrase has never been more poignant for all in our industry, nor the wish more sincere.

Finally, while it was sad to see the great Australian tradition of thanking our sanitation workers with beer at Christmas is no more, Australian beer still makes the perfect gift in most other circumstances, if you’re still shopping. It is also still the drink of choice for Santa and the adult elves.

Merry Christmas

From Matt & the team at Brews News.
