LATEST NEWS FROM ANHC ​

Get ready for ANHC 2010! ​

It's time to start booking your leave with work and the family, because you won't want to miss this!

The second ever Australian National Homebrewing Conference 2010 will be held from Thursday October 28 to Saturday October 30, 2010 at the William Angliss Institute, Melbourne.

This year's conference will feature another couple of iconic American homebrewers - Randy Mosher and Gordon Strong.

Randy is famous for penning the one book that every self-respecting homebrewer should own - Radical Brewing. He has also recently released Tasting Beer: An Insider's Guide to the World's Greatest Drink. At the conference he'll be schooling us on extinct Belgian styles, recipe formulation and, of course, radical brewing.

President of the Beer Judging Certification Program and a two-time Ninkasi Award winner, Gordon will give us all the judging info we can handle, including guided tasting panels and the first ever Australian pre-AABC judges' briefing.

All of your favourite events from 2008 will be returning. The Beer & Food Pairing Dinner will again feature food matched to beers from four of Australia's champion homebrewers, Club Night will be back in an expanded format and the Australian Amateur Brewing Championship judging will take place on the Thursday.

But we also learned heaps from the last conference, and have big plans to make this conference a whole lot better. New features will include:

• Judges dinner before the AABC judging led by Gordon and Randy
• More, expanded demonstration sessions
• System Wars: HERMS vs gravity vs brew in a bag!
• Beer cooking challenge

And of course we've got a whole new batch of presenters with some seriously interesting things to say. But we'll keep you in suspense on that front for now.

Andy, just to clear it up, does the full works package include the Gala Dinner, or is that extra on top?

 

[Andyd]

The Alpha package is everything - Sessions, Friday's Pairing Dinner and the Gala Dinner.

Cheers!

I was of the opinion that last ANHC club night was not dependant on an individual going to the conference. It was a great gathering of clubs and members to show their wares off. (so to speak)

BYB

 

[barls]

dont worry ill be there with the isb boys

 

[Goofinder]

It was broken for me, but with a bit of decoding here it is.

Well i had mine 'cleared' tonight. As soon as i said "the packages have been announced for ANHC" i was told.. "so you are doing everything right? Dont miss out on anything!"

SWMBO was pissed she couldnt get herself a ticket just to the beer and food pairing dinner. Although shes still interested in the Gala. :beerbang:

Party on Wayne.. Party on Garth!

 

[Andyd]

Fourstar, if it turns out we have seats available for the pairing dinner then we'll release them separately, however it has been a sell out the last two years, so that doesn't feel likely...

Barls, we're currently looking at how to manage club night for non-participants. We are hoping to make the night run longer, but we're probably going to have a limit on the total number in the venue and so may need some way to control this.

Once we have a plan we'll let everyone know - if it's at all possible I'd love to encourage SO participation ;-)

then we'll have her parents there too and there goes the drinking night ............ just like last time at your place.



Interestingly in 2080 the Club Night wasn't too crowded (or was I that pissed) but being first time around probably didn't really mean much to people.

Andy, I know you'll read this, on Club Night, does any Club have to specifically tell you they are bringing a display beer down and will a list of what you will provide/ what a club needs to supply be issued? I'm just thinking after 2008 and Canberra last year, Club Night could be big with much more interest from NSW in particular.
