& PROFITS<br />
Whilst 2022 has seen much of the south-east corner<br />
under water, the <strong>QHA</strong> waded its way north to present<br />
Pubs, Pots & Profits at the Grand Hotel in Gladstone.<br />
The event began with an industry roundtable, cochaired<br />
by the Brewers Association of Australia, as<br />
the <strong>QHA</strong> continues to take action against the climbing<br />
cost of beer to our industry. Local sitting members<br />
and candidates were invited to attend the discussion,<br />
with LNP Candidate for Flynn, Colin Boyce, showing<br />
his strong support for a draught beer tax cut.<br />
The ongoing weather conditions kept the crowd small<br />
but enthusiastic, enjoying a presentation by Danny<br />
Nixon-Smith from DNS Specialist Services and a<br />
Publican’s Panel featuring Mel Porter from Porters<br />
Plainland Hotel and Stephen Stoios from CQ Hotels<br />
Group.<br />
All attendees participated in the highly competitive<br />
‘Perfect Pour’ competition which saw Benito Zussino<br />
from the Light Group take out the bragging honours.<br />
The next Pubs, Pots & Profits event will take place in<br />
Townsville on 10th May.<br />
