The inaugural Bartenders’ Weekender is wrapping up in Brisbane today, having kicked off on Sunday, with a range of panel discussions, presentations, bar and brand pop-ups for bartenders from across the country.
The Weekender was the brainchild of Penny Sippe and Sam Bygrave and can officially be called a success with everyone that this scribe spoke to saying how much they enjoyed the event and applauding the decision to host the event in Brisbane.
Below is a selection of pictures from the Rum State of Mind panel discussion hosted by Proof & Company on Sunday through to opening night drinks and beyond.
