Anawbs 2008 Presentation

[RussTaylor]

Just a reminder, particularly for Adelaide brewers, that the 2008 ANAWBS presentation day is this Sunday 12 October. Proceedings kick off at 1pm.

The venue for the award ceremony is Regency TAFE International Centre, Days Road, Regency Park, SA.

A $10.00 entry fee applies, which includes a souvenir tasting glass and public tasting of all the non sparkling wine entries (which were flushed with argon and recorked after judging - so they are as fresh as we can have them) and liqueurs.

Campus Brewery have also provided us with a generous supply of their beers for sampling on the day.

The entry fee is, of course, waived for all judges and stewards.

A map of the venue can be found here.

For those who can't make it, a list of all the winners and place getters will be posted on AHB later on Sunday evening - with the full results on the ANAWBS web site to follow shortly.

Hope to see you there.

Cheers
Russ

Hey guys, I can tell you it'll be worth a few of you South Australians to get down to the Presentation this year...

You can pick up your judging sheets, medals, trophies and maybe a mash paddle...

There'll also be a few special prizes. B)

 

[THE DRUNK ARAB]

I'll be there.

Not expecting to get trophies or medals but keen to hook into the keg of Summer Ale on a 33C day :chug:

I'll be there, I can walk there from my house

One of my aims is to get to judge at the comp and hang around long enough for the presentations maybe. Spent a few days in Adelaide with a mate in 1972-73 (over New Years Eve) and always intended to get back there. I'm just a bit slow.

[Rudy]

Whats the stagger back like... :lol:

Its pretty flat, better if it was a bit downhill

 

[THE DRUNK ARAB]

Rudy should be staggering home by now :lol:

Great afternoon and the Tafe's Summer Ale was fantastic.

Well done to all placegetters and especially the winner of the Mash Paddle and Champion brewer.
Maybe SA is the centre of homebrewing excellence after all :icon_cheers:.

More to follow I'm sure!

I agree TDA, TAFE excelled themselves today with the Summer Ale!

Results can be found here

Congratulations to all entrants and winners, especially Mark and Anthony for taking most of the major prizes!

Watch this space over the next couple of months for news of new and revised classes for next year, and the all important Mash Paddle category for 2009.

Thanks everyone for a great competition! Looking forward to next year for our 30th year.

Bloody hell! Did I put a flanders red in the paddle by mistake? :unsure:

Now can I taste an infection that wasn't there two weeks ago. My humble apologies to Chris, Roach and Peter*2 for the horrors an austalia post incubation period must have wrought. Oh the shame.

Well that would explain it... You can't explain it on the homebrew shop... h34r:

Kai, you definitely owe me as I definitely remember this one. I took one sniff and said "baby shxt". We even got the 2nd bottle opened and a sample of it brought out.

PS Congrats to the winners. If anyone wants clarification on my comments on the beers I judged, please PM me.

 

[Kai]

At 13 out of 50 I'd expected you'd remember it.

 

[Adamt]

Hahaha sounds like a generous 13.

Big congrats to Dr Smith... a famed recipe becomes even more famous!

 

[Aaron]

PS Congrats to the winners. If anyone wants clarification on my comments on the beers I judged, please PM me.

Same here. If I judged your beer and you would like any clarification etc please let me know.

 

[KillerRx4]

Awsome! 2 bronze

Not so awsome 18, 19 & 15.25 pts entries :lol:

I knew 2 of those (ESB & stout) had problems but im shocked my APA scored a 15.25. I thought that was my best entry.

Well done to organisers, judges & stewards on a well run comp. Look forward to reading feedback.

Well done Sinkas !

Who is Woolven St. brewery?

Thanks Vlad

No idea, but it might be a new crew from Palmyra. I think "Woolven" is the street Cantillion is on in Brussels
