Congratulations Gerard, very well deserved mate!
I bet Paddy's is giving itself a pat on the back too right about now.
Thanks guys
It seems my trip to Paddys late last year was worth the effort as we got a Gold medal for the Pilsner & missed out on the trophy for best Lager by stuff all.
The Dirty Angel preformed very well for Flying Horse. All in all a good night really.
Cheers
Gerard
Oh & Janelle got her pic taken with Merc, so she was very happy.

....Thanks Ross and Screwy....
..we are over the moon...for me personally, to see the Dunkelweizen beaten only by the Weinstephaner Dunkelweizen and only by a poofteenth is extraordinarily gratifying....being reminded of the significance of that by the likes of Brad Rogers , Doug Donellan,Hugh Dunn, Dave Hollyoak and especially Richard Watkins is just plain ****** ' surreal.....6 beers, 1 trophy, 6 medals, 2 of each colour and top 4 for Champion Small Brewery is taking some time to sink in...having Rob Freshwater say " next time you're in Sydney come over and i'll show you round Malt Shovel" had me doin' back flips...the brotherhood of brewers is every bit as strong in the pro's as it is among homebrewers...the acceptance & inclusion i received Thurs & Fri nite was truly staggering...meeting Ian Watson & Mel from MT and Ed, Frank & Rhonda from Eagle Heights catching up with Keith Grice , meeting & drinkin' with Craig Weilands and Jess and Hamish from Potters made for great times,(congrats on all the medals all you guys).....Only downside was not being able to have a beer or 6 with Gough, who couldn't make it , but congrats for that Grand Cru Gold medal mate if you read this....
...and not forgetting that both the Summer Ale & Best Bitter are still based on Ian Watson's great recipes...thanks mate, can't wait to get down to Mt Tambourine and have a beer....
...what more can i say...when the chips are down and things seem tougher than ever, i'll just think back over the last couple of days and remember....it beats the **** outta concreting.....
...sorry about the long post...
...PS..all 6 beers are on tap at the brewery for those interested...
Cheers , Scott

....I also need to give a big shout out to Mr Andrew Gow now at the Five Islands Brewery who co-brewed the Summer Ale with me and provided a great guiding hand into the SCB...total legend both as a brewer and more importantly as a top bloke.....AG deserves half , if not more of the credit for the gold...top stuff mate, great to see you & Scotty Morgan bagging medal for Five Islands and pumping out great beers down at the 'Gong ...
...mate i wish you could have been there with Greg and myself when the win was announced and we pooped our pants in front of 700 people...
Cheers

Congrats Hargie and I suppose special mention should go out to AG for bringing two breweries into the medal count this year. Well done Andrew! Can't wait to try the new Barbeerian!
