​

Style of the Month: American Pale Ale​

This month's entry numbers were the largest I have seen during my time at the club, with 11 entries in total! It was great to see so many quality beers in the mix and it really did go to show how many great brewers we now have in the club.

Congratulations to John Fraser for his 1st place with a cracker of a pale ale. I look forward to seeing it do well this weekend at the Wort Hogs comp!

Coming in Second was James Rimmer, followed closely by Ryan Tyack.

Thanks for posting that link James.

Great night and Corio Bay Brewers just keeps getting better and better with more brewers coming along all the time. It is good to see the group growing and invigorated. Lets keep it up and anyone in the Geelong area is more than welcome to attend.
