Australian Amateur Brewing Championship

[Parks]

Results haven't been announced at any comps I've judged until after it was all done and dusted.

You may find out some good scores by talking with fellow judges e.g., "Our table had a 47 point RIS which was absolutely outstanding", but not many judges will say much other than "we're getting some good/bad/etc beers so far" until it's finished.

 

[Kodos]

As Parks says, the results are usually checked over (to make sure scores have been added up correctly, entered into the spreadsheet, and that the beers named 1st, 2nd 3rd correlate with the scoresheets).

If there are enough stewards, sometimes this can be happening as the beers are judged, but nothing is final until after the flight is concluded. Judges can call beers back to adjust their scores as they see fit.

 

[Kodos]

What goes on through the day of the event, is it worth going to the venue for a beers while it's being judged? Do they announce the results of each category as its happening? So many questions...

If you can make it, contact the organisers - they may be able to use you as a steward or something.

It's entirely up to them how they run their comp, but they are rarely spectator events. Helpers are usually welcomed tho'.

 

[Dazzbrew]

Oh the anticipation! Cant wait for the results.

 

[Womball]

We finished judging around 3pm at the Charming Squire in Southbank, some great beers in my flight. Not sure where/when the results are being posted though.

[christopher.whitten]

4 out of 17 beers scored under 20 at a national comp in the low alcohol category. Beers couldn't have been that bad! Well done Brettles on your Kolsch and Pils!

 

[MartinOC]

Anyone that gets a Gong in low alcohol category (State or National level) is a great brewer. No doubt about it.

 

[andyth]

Thanks to the nationals organizers and everyone that made this possible. Congrats to my friend Jeff McGrath!
