About Us

Formed in 2001 (and now celebrating 10 years) to assist and promote the craft brewing industry in WA, The Western Australian Brewers Association represents the growing consumer demand for more flavourful beers, the use of quality ingredients, and a greater choice of products.

We are a member driven organisation that also works with the community to:

• Enhance the status and general awareness of microbreweries in WA
• Promote brewing and beer education
• Help represent the interest of Members within the general community
• Work with the Government to assist breweries on issues such as taxation reduction and small business development
