Beer Awards Dinner Tonight

[Trent]

Can ANYONE confirm to me that DT winning gold in the Lambic section is a typo? Or am I on some form of Crack? Or were the judges? Carling for next years Premiers award.

EDIT - Congrats to Murrays and Potters for their great showing in the comp, and also to Pedro (who I rudely missed before). Good to see some true aussie micro's making an impression.

They had LCPA on tap last time I was there mind you it was a while ago.

It was still there about a month ago. I tried two of their beers and wasn't overly impressed. I than had 4 or 5 pints of LCPA to console myself and then wandered back to work.

Oh yeah, Not happy at all. I heard on the BN board that 21st amendment nad a bunch of other US micros were entering this year... then found out there was no beerfest. A dark dark day indeed.

On the bright side, I'm really pleased that Beechworth Brewers did so well, their Aussie ale is one of my favourites and I have a bottle of that Bierdegarde in my cellar (OK, big foam box) that has been quietly gathering some age for around 12 months now. Their saison was also sensational as was their IPA.

Potters brewery doing well is also great. At least ONE of the Hunter Valley breweries is actually making nice beer. A bottle of their Bock also features in my cellar waiting for age...mmmmmmmm

And while I agree its a bit of a stretch to give it the best victorian beer... well, we make nice stella damn it. A little bit of that trophy belongs to me (a REALLY little bit) so be nice or I will cry.
