From a passionate home-grown brewing dream to an internationally recognised craft beer destination, Call Me Papa Brewhouse is a rising star in Thailand’s vibrant beer scene—now proudly celebrating success on the world stage after winning two medals at the 2025 Melbourne Royal Australian International Beer Awards (AIBA).

This month, Melbourne Royal springs into celebrating our great Australian wine makers and dairy producers. We congratulate Meadowbank Wines Tasmania for winning the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy with their 2024 Pinot Noir at the 2025 Melbourne Royal Wine Awards, recently held in the Victoria Pavilion at Melbourne Showgrounds.

Australia’s dairy industry is embracing a bold new flavour frontier – one that blends global inspiration with local excellence. At the Australian Grand Dairy Awards, held on Thursday 13 November, two Grand Champions and 21 Champions were crowned from a record-breaking 471 entries, showcasing the creativity, quality and multicultural influence shaping the future of Australian dairy.

Nearly fifty years after being told it couldn’t be done, a windswept Tasmanian vineyard once dismissed as too wild and too cold for wine has achieved the ultimate recognition at the 2025 Melbourne Royal Wine Awards.

Melbourne Royal is pleased to announce the appointment of Jane Brook to the Board, bringing with her more than three decades of experience delivering major projects, events, and campaigns that bridge Australia’s commercial and cultural landscapes.
