4 March 2026

There has been a flurry of activity here at the Independent Brewers Association since the new year has kicked off. In amongst all of the events, state elections, launching our Regional Cluster Leads, chatting with Federal MP’s, webinars and launching a Discord chat (among other things!) we forgot to share our new members for January, of which there was quite a few.

With that in mind, it’s now time to share our new members for February, so here’s a wrap up of our new members since the start of the year, including Brewery Members, Associates and a Brewery in Planning member.

We welcomed three new Associate Members to the IBA in January and February. Osmoflo is here to help brewery members create efficient and sustainable water and wastewater solutions, an area of concern for many breweries across the country, while Zembl offers tailored energy brokerage services to help brewers optimise energy costs. We know energy costs can be a huge burden for many brewery operations, and Zembl may have some solutions. Lastly, Zero Payments join us and offer secure, flexible and reliable payment solutions for breweries that offer hospitality and direct to consumer sales components as part of their business.

As for breweries, Found Goods Co and Dune Beer Co join us from Western Australia, Banks Brewing and Wild Things Brewing from Victoria, Beerded Bro Brewing from the ACT, Hopfields Brewing in Tasmania, and Illawarra Brewing Company and Queens of Chaos join us from over in NSW. Harry Jacks Brewing Co also joins us from NSW as a Brewery in Planning member.

Welcome to all of our new members and thank you for your ongoing support of the IBA.
