THE FINE PRINT

VOTING

Only one vote (for five different beers) is permitted per person, and a valid email address must be submitted for each vote to be counted. GABS reserves the right to remove votes, or voting behaviour, that appear to break this rule, be manufactured, or we deem to be false or not in the spirit of the poll. Voting closes at 11.59pm NZDT on Monday 27 January 2020.

ELIGIBILITY

Beers must have been brewed in New Zealand and sold in kegs, cans or bottles in the 2019 calendar year.

CRAFT STATUS

New Zealand beer brands deemed by GABS as ‘non-craft’ (eg. Steinlager) are ineligible. International craft brands brewed in New Zealand (eg. Little Creatures), are also ineligible.

OWNERSHIP

New Zealand craft brands brewed by multinational companies or supermarket chains (eg. Boundary Road Brewery, Tuatara, Emerson’s, Panhead Custom Ales or Monteith’s) are eligible.

INCENTIVES

No brands or breweries other than GABS are permitted to offer prizes, incentives or inducements of any value in exchange for votes for beers, or promote the poll in a way that could be perceived as such. Brands and breweries are not permitted to ask for proof of votes.

Any breaches of the above terms, intentional or otherwise, will lead to the brand/brewery and/or voter being disqualified. GABS’ decision on all matters related to the integrity of the poll is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
