23 September 2024

We’ve made some real progress getting a conversation started on excise reform.  Our online campaign earlier this year got some great traction in the media and we continue to take advantage of this momentum in the lead up to the federal election.

Now we need as many independent breweries as possible to provide economic data so we can update our 2020 impact analysis as that will give us the data we need to leverage the current impetus on the floor of Parliament.

The last time we asked breweries to contribute to this work was in September 2020 and its safe to say that our industry has changed quite a bit in that time.  

The survey collects data that will be used in an economic impact analysis conducted by Urban Enterprise – they are the same organization we used in 2020 and the output will be used it for ALL our advocacy efforts – both state and federal.

Help us advocate for independent breweries and contribute to the needs analysis.

The survey closes on 8 October 2024 – this has been extended to Friday 11 October 2024.

We thank our partners – Bintani – without whom undertaking this study – would not be possible.
