BarShow Week Exhibition 2011 at the Hordern Pavilion
Sydney BarShow Week saw over 40 exhibitors showcasing more than 90 brands and services at the Hordern Pavilion. The BarShow brought together many visitors from across Australia and guests who travelled from the corners of the globe. Apart from industry friends getting together there was also an extensive range of seminars held over the two days.
The Bundaberg Distillatorium, truly Ursa Major, was a blend of history, rum and bear with a touch of Jules Verne. At Jameson Irish Whiskey, those with an artistic bent were happy to donate their bodies as living canvases for Bondi Ink to tattoo to their hearts’ content.
The 2011 Sydney BarShow Week was held from 11 to 14 September. Below are some of the highlights of the BarShow’s exhibition.
