Australian Bartender is proud to announce that this year’s Bartender of the Year competition is sponsored by 42Below and De Kuyper.

”We’re very excited to be working with these two great brands for this year’s competition,” said Australian Bartender founder and publisher David Spanton.

“They’ve got a great reputation in the trade and will play a big part as we ratchet up the competition once again this year.”

Denis Brown, Bacardi Lion’s managing director said, “42Below has always been a bartender brand with a bit of attitude and De Kuyper has a long history behind the bar, so we’re proud to have them both back in the spotlight in partnership with this great bartending competition.”
