See our website for more information, including up to date version of the flier, sponsor updates, prize updates & entry forms (as we get the data in of course). At the moment it is a little sparse, but we are getting there!

Note that the flier is a work in progress and an up to date one will always be available on the website.

Drop off points arranged to date include Grain and Grape, Geelong Home Brew Supplies, Wallington Rural Garden and The Terminus Hotel (pending if I recall).

To date we have the following sponsors on board, with more being added all the time, total prize value is heading toward the $1000 equivalent mark!

Thanks to ALL the sponsors to date:
  • Wallington Rural Garden Home Brew Supplies
  • Geelong Home Brew Supplies
  • MaltEurop
  • Little Creatures
  • Southern Bay Brewing
  • Grain and Grape
  • VicBrew
  • Gladfield Malt
  • Hop Dealz
  • Coopers
  • Bintani
The competition will be held in the Southern Bay Brewing brew house, any interested parties attending on the day will get a brief tour from one of their brewers during the lunch break where we will be holding a bit of a BBQ with some cheap eats going.

You can safely assume this also as a call for Judges, the Secretary will be contacting BJCP registered judges separately, but note THIS IS A BJCP registered competition, so those looking to earn points for their BJCP certification should contact the Secretary via our website Contact Us page. Judges will be provided lunch on the day.

Or simply those wishing to have a judging experience should also look at contact the Secretary, we need both BJCP and non BJCP judges for this event.

Prize List (to date), we have additional sponsors coming on board or we have not heard from sponsors as to what they will be providing, so this list will only improve!

Best shown club has a cracker of a prize for their next social gathering, so each club is encouraged to get their members and entries organised.

Please see this page for the prize list (could not get table to work here)
 
Good to see you guys getting this comp up and running. Looking forward to it. It might help if you could provide a list here of the categories and styles in the comp.
 
Yeah probably a good point. Styles are according to AABC and are as follows:

4. Amber & Dark Lager
6. Pale Ale
7. American Pale Ale
8. Bitter Ale
18. Specialty Beer

If brewers wish to post their entries, send direct to Geelong Craft Brewers C/o Steve Walker, 80 Point Henry Rd, Moolap VIC 3221
 
Some great prizes being donated by Coopers for the best three kit/extract brews, so extract brewers get those beers entered!
 
We would like to announce a new sponsor on board for the Top 5 Shootout and not a sponsor you would expect!

GB Foods have stepped up and sponsored the meat to be cooked on the BBQ for the judges/stewards lunches.

We are very grateful for their support and many thanks go to Ross Robertson and his team at GB Foods!

We will be updating our sponsorship banner and sponsor web page tonight with this information.

Cheers

Woohooo.. Finally somewhere to put my RIS :)
hehe yeah and somewhere to enter my Baltic Saison Porter ... d'oh ... for those judges in the Stout Extravaganza, yeah it was one funky Baltic Porter LOL
 
It is looking like we might have some special professional brewers as guest judges, Ryan from Bright Brewery, possibly one of the brewers from Little Creatures and possibly one other professional brewer judge.

This is an excellent opportunity to have your beers judged by both BJCP certified judges AND professional brewers!

Get your entries ready! We have some terrific prizes lined up from our sponsors including special prizes from Coopers for the best three extract entries across all styles.

To clarify... We won't Tweet till results are confirmed after judging is complete. Likely late afternoon
 
No East side collection points?

No problem. I'll mail it to you, plenty of spare boxes and gaffe tape about the joint ;)

Sorry Yob no, think the closest we were trying to arrange was the Terminus Hotel. Hard being all the way out here in wild west.
 
The flier says enter via compmaster but I don't see this listed in active comps in compmaster. Can we still enter via compmaster? Or is it good old envelope with cash attached to the bottle?
