Hi Bribie, Thanks for the prompt, I will upload this years forms directly. P1

Yes of course you can enter, the competition is open to all. I am not sure about posting beer other than making sure it is well packed. We have, in previous years, had entries from Qld and intra state NSW so it should be possible. Good luck P1

Hi All, Prize details updated http://esbcomp.wordpress.com/ P1

We are following the published AABC 2013 Guidelines for the Aussie Pale, and the Aussie Brown is based on the same style guideline that we published last year. We are a small home brew club and we look to do something different each year, this is our 7th comp. Last year along with a range of...

Oops! Now fixed in pdf. Note no other changes made. P1

No I reiterate that the Australian hops are to be per the flyer for the Australian IPA style. This is in order to differentiate it from American IPA which is also a category. Please have a look at the Australian IPA guideline in the flyer. P1

No - absolutely NO Cascade only the hops on the list. Brewers Code!! P1
