PUBS, POTS & PROFITS<br />
Tropical Mackay was the location for the latest Pubs,<br />
Pots & Profits event, which was held at the Shamrock<br />
Hotel on the 18th May.<br />
Attendees enjoyed presentations on Social Media 1<strong>01</strong>,<br />
Emerging On-Premise Beverage Trends, Draught Beer<br />
Wastage, Food Trends and Beyond Facial Recognition<br />
– an interesting insight into the world of CCTV facial<br />
recognition technology.<br />
The Member for Mackay, Julieanne Gilbert MP, also<br />
addressed the group. Ms Gilbert shared the story of<br />
her family’s historical pub ownership within the Mackay<br />
region, before she took questions from the floor as<br />
part of the Politics in the Pub segment.<br />
With more than 50 attendees, the competition for<br />
the Perfect Pour competition was always going to be<br />
tough, but pitting father and daughter against each<br />
other made it tough for the CUB Brewery Fresh Team<br />
to choose their favourite! In the end it was announced<br />
that the Koumala Hotel had taken home the honours<br />
but exactly who poured the Perfect Pour<br />
from the venue will remain a mystery!<br />
Thank you to all attendees and to our<br />
event partners: Carlton & United<br />
Breweries, PFD Food Services,<br />
Cooking The Books, Celebrate<br />
Digital and Vix Vizion.<br />
