The Queensland Distillers Association (QDA) was formed in 2021 to support the fast-growing craft distilling sector in the state, and to promote the exceptional quality of Queensland spirits which are attracting the attention of the world.
A purpose of the QDA is to ensure its members adhere to quality standards and compliance at their distilleries, meaning that buyers and distillery door visitors have the confidence to purchase the finest Queensland spirits.
Members of the QDA enthusiastically participate in activities to enhance craft distilling in Queensland, including distillery safety seminars, visitor servicing at their distillery doors, and technical standards training.
