THE QLD IPA CUP 2026
West Coast IPAs. 20 breweries. One People's Champion.
Great beer shouldn't only be judged behind closed doors. So for the third year running, we're handing the gavel to you.
First, some of the sharpest IPA palates in the industry will taste their way through the field to crown our Cup Champion. Then on Saturday August 29th, the doors open for QLD IPA Cup Day, where the only judge that matters is you. Votes get tallied, one beer gets anointed, and QLD gets its People's Champion.
Your ticket gets you:
- Entry to the Cup Party
- 150ml tasters of 10 of the 20 competing West Coast IPAs (more available to buy once you've burned through them)
- A vote for the People's Champion
- A tasting booklet to write notes and grade beers.
Tunes as fresh as the beer, plus prizes, giveaways and raffles running all day.
Range Pizza will be firing, Fast 'n Fresh as always- pizzas and snacks to keep you upright through a full day of tasting, debating and judging.
Never forget, it's always a great day for IPA.
Plan it on Keen
Keen is how mates lock in plans: see who’s free, who’s keen, and actually make it happen.
