Obviously I can only say so much, but on the other site being organised is the biannual Victorian Case Swap. It has been suggested that we mention it over here incase incase it gets some interest over here.
The dates are the 17th-19th April
Location is Somers, Victoria (down near Hastings).
If you don't know what I am talking about, basically it's a beer weekend. Primarily years ago it started as a case swap where on one day, 24 budding brewers would bring 24 beers and take home 24 different beers. Now it's evolved that we also brew 750-1000 litres of beer on a cobbled together system and everyone has the opportunity to take home a cube of beer (BYO cube). Some years we even make two batches of beer. These days it generally starts on a Friday afternoon milling grain and then the main brew happens on Saturday. Saturday afternoon we generally have a oh **** moment where it's been determined we are all drunk enough to do the swap. There is always plenty of room to stay, because there is always plenty of kegs of beer that need to be drunk. You can come for an hour, you can come for a day, you can stay all weekend, it's a great weekend.
Also I forgot the food aspect. For a nominal fee, ~$30-40, you get fed all weekend, breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between. We even have that fancy vegan rubbish people go on about
Anyway, if you have any questions, ask.
If you want to sign up to the swap or cube list, then you will have to go to the other place.
