Mike Bray and Craig Williams - GABS Festival

In this special edition, we catch up with GABS Beer Festival and Spectacular Enterprises General Manager, Mike Bray, and Festival Director, Craig Williams.

It’s no secret that 2020 has been a brutal year for events. We wanted to catch up with Mike and Craig for a while to find out how they were travelling and what the plans were for 2021, and to get Mike’s thoughts on acquiring the business just months before the pandemic. However, during the course of the chat they drop a few announcements and so we have brought the release of this episode forward to release it as a special edition to coincide with their releasing the news themselves.

Even without the news, it’s a great chat about events and managing the COVID year, as well as the Hottest 100 and can design awards.

GABS Festival 2021 Event Dates:

• GABS Brisbane: Sat 17 April
• GABS Sydney: Fri 7 - Sat 8 May (introducing a new Friday session)
• GABS Melbourne: Fri 21 - Sun 23 May (concluding Good Beer Week)
• GABS Auckland: Sat 3 July
