Queensland will become the first state in Australia to introduce a dedicated craft beer strategy.
On Wednesday night the Queensland government announced a working group, including representatives from local breweries as part of its plan to support the local craft brewing industry.
This group will propose strategies they think will support the expansion of the industry.
State Development Minister Cameron Dick said craft beer production in Queensland is estimated to be worth around $62 million per year and has the potential to expand locally, interstate and overseas.
