The IBA is delighted to welcome three new members to the association in July 2026, across Associate Membership and Brewery In Planning Membership tiers. The latest additions follow up a strong 25-26 Financial Year where the IBA saw 38 new members join, showing that there is still momentum for the association to grow and strengthen membership further into the new FY.

Joining us in July as an associate member is Hospobooks, who join the IBA as a specialist bookkeeping and financial management practice built exclusively for the hospitality industry. They work with independent breweries, bars and food producers across Australia who need more than a generalist accountant.

Also joining us as an associate member is Rastal Glassware by John Giles Pty Ltd. They join us as a supplier of Premium Rastal glassware, along with custom branding solutions that help breweries enhance presentation, strengthen their brand and create memorable drinking experiences.

And finally, joining us as a Brewery in Planning is Castlereagh Brewery out of Penrith, NSW. The IBA looks forward to learning more about Castlereagh Brewery and watching their progress.

Thank you to our new members who joined us in July, and thank you to all of our members for your ongoing support of the IBA and the broader indie beer industry. If you know someone who should join us, email communications@iba.org.au to let us know!
