Next month will see Australia’s first Craft Beer Awards take place in Sydney. They have been launched by the Craft Beer Industry Association (CBIA), a national association representing craft breweries in Australia. With submissions closed, they have received 277 beer entries from 80 breweries – and now they need help running the various stages of judging and the awards night.
Volunteers are required for a number of positions both in the run up to and on the presentation night at the Giant Dwarf Theatre on October 24 during Sydney Craft Beer Week. They cover a range of roles, with volunteers receiving various benefits, including a t-shirt, meals, beer and a half price ticket to said awards night. The first duties kick in in less than a month so applications are needed pronto.
The available positions and dates required are as follows:
- Sorting Team (4 volunteers) – October 13 to 17 at Tooheys Lidcome
- Database Guru (1 volunteer) – October 21 & 22 at Novotel Olympic Park
- Table Captain (5 volunteers) – October 21 & 22 at Novotel Olympic Park
- Stewards (10 volunteers) – October 21 & 22 at Novotel Olympic Park
- Comment Cards (3 volunteers) – October 21 & 22 at Novotel Olympic Park

Full details of what each of these roles entails as well as more information on the volunteers requirements and benefits can be found on the CBIA website here.
