‘Beeronomics’ is the application of economic concepts and methods to beer industry issues, trends, policies, etc. The 2026 AARES conference will be hosting Australia’s first ‘beeronomics’ tour bringing a range of beer-related experiences and insights to AARES members. While touring a range of craft breweries located around Adelaide, the 2026 beeronomics tour will introduce you to craft beer brewing methods and provide insights into the craft beer industry including constraints and solution pathways to growing rates of failure and quality issues in craft brewing in Australia and globally. We’ll also review new approaches to supply chains and markets that link more closely with wine supply chains than ever before.
Lunch will be provided and you’ll get the chance to see the beautiful Adelaide Hills region, sample some great craft beers from around the Hills, meet brewers and beer industry folks, and chew the fat with others interested in things related to brewing. The cost to attend this tour is $150 including transport from the meeting location to the final location in the CBD, morning coffee and lunch. All drinks are to be bought by participants themselves.
