ANHC Breaks Its Chains in 2014...

[Crofty]

About 20 people on the MMT so far. [emoji129][emoji127][emoji129][emoji127][emoji129][emoji127][emoji129][emoji127][emoji129][emoji127]

Mr. No-Tip am I on the MMT I cannot remember adding it to the checkout?

 

[HBHB]

All booked and paid for . Bags packed, are we there yet? :beer:

[Mr. No-Tip]

Things are reaching fever pitch here in Canberra - we've still got a few surprises up our sleeves for you.

If you're planning on getting a Full Package ticket, think quick - our tasty seven beer, four course Gala Dinner is close to reaching capacity, and with that goes the last of the full packages.

Merchandise presales will also end this week. We'll have a limited number of shirts and glasses for ad-hoc purchase at the conference, but the price is much nicer if you pre-order.

As before, please post any questions here or to [email protected] and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

 

[Mr. No-Tip]

Any ticket holders still to get a hotel sorted? Many of our deals end this week: http://anhc.com.au/index.php/program/accomodation-options

On the subject of accommodation, would be interested to hear where others are staying during the conference in Canberra.

University House seems to be pretty convenient, and reasonably economical if 2 are sharing a basic twin room.

The YHA would obviously be the cheapest with a short walk involved - minimum 4 share required.

Wondering if anyone is looking to split accommodation, or has a free bed (free as in available, as willing to cover costs).

Likewise if anyone has not made arrangements as yet, and looking to reduce accommodation cost, please PM me.

 

[Forever Wort]

The YHA is not half bad, for anyone tempted to scrounge. I stayed there for a week when I first moved to Canberra at the end of 2011 and by chance my dorm was filled with other people in a similar position to me (working in Canberra and in the process of leasing). It was a good atmosphere and very different to most hostels I've stayed at both in Australia and overseas.

 

[Kodos]

The YHA is also above one of Canberra's best craft beer haunts, The Transit Bar, which I've heard is having a Feral Brewing Company tap takeover during the conference.

Could be dangerously good.

 

[Forever Wort]

Haha, when I was living in Canberra the Transit Bar was definitely not considered a "craft beer haunt" !!!

 

[Crofty]

Just over two weeks guys. Getting excited for my first conference

Indeed, but prepare to have your low expectations raised up like a craft beer jesus...

 

[Mr. No-Tip]

Just over two weeks guys. Getting excited for my first conference

Two weeks left, and just one to get your tickets... Still a few conference and club night seats available...

 

[Crofty]

What do you reckon guys, Should we start a roll call thread for all those heading to the conference?

 

[Brew Matt]

So, does everyone have their accommodation sorted?

 

[Josh]

So, does everyone have their accommodation sorted?

I got a dorm bed (4-bed dorm) at the YHA. Feel free to PM me and we might be able to get into the same dorm.

I posted a thread along those lines, but received no feedback.

Cant believe it is less than 2 weeks. It seemed so far away for so long and its almost here.

It will be great to meet up with brewers from the East Coast. We have a small contingency venturing over from the West ( around 7 of us).

whats the numbers like on attendees this year?

 

[Mr. No-Tip]

whats the numbers like on attendees this year?

Magical Mystery tour has about 80 peeps. The dinner is sold out at 230. There will be over 250 at the conference and club night...final numbers will depend on how many are wishing and waiting ahead of tickets closing later this week...

 

[Kodos]

Barring any technical glitches, the results will be tweeted tonight during the presentation. I *think* the presentation is from about 9pm.

Follow @anhcfour, or keep an eye on the hashtags #anhcfour and/or #aabc2014

Should be a great night!

 

[HBHB]

I think it's safe to say everyone had a fantastic time @ ANHC Four - and if you didn't, it was your own fault.

Kudos to everyone involved in pulling off a massive logistical challenge and bringing together brewers from every state along with a great range of speakers. It was a mighty effort from the good gentlemen and ladies of the Canberra Brewers.

Top stuff & congratulations to all involved.

 

[AntonW]

Big thanks to the organising committee for an absolutely world class event.

 

[Black n Tan]

It was just a fabulous few days. Congrats to all those involved in organising the event and to the hosts Canberra Brewers, you rock. :beerbang: Two years just seems too long until the next one.

 

[brouhaha]

Great work by everyone involved in organising the event, it was a bloody cracking weekend. I left Canberra all pumped up and more excited about brewing than ever! The free Braumeister was also a nice touch

 

[Forever Wort]

Agreed. Great event. The Merri Mashers had fun!

Edit: Proof!

 

[Brewtus]

Thanks for the comments, we had lots of fun doing it and everyone there was pumped and so friendly, it made it all worthwhile.

Hey guys, did anyone manage to take down a copy of Brew Cult's Get Down American Brown recipe during Hendo's talk? Was thinking about brewing it this weekend.....

Cheers - Snow

I think he said that it was going to be online somewhere. Not sure where though...

 

[Mr. No-Tip]

All the audio and all/most pressos will be online as time allows. Might be a few weeks.

Plenty of photos up from the conference now, including shots from club night, the awards presentations and the club night photobooth pics.

Check them out on the Canberra Brewers' Flickr page (more complete set of pics)

Or the ANHC Facebook page (this will likely be updated with the rest of the pics from Flickr soon).

We're still working on getting all the Powerpoint presentations, and some audio from the conference to upload to anhc.com.au - but it will probably take us a few weeks.
