[sosman]

Well it looks like its going to be a pisser of a weekend. I am travelling up Friday and coming home Sunday afternoon. Judge a few beers (75 is my PB) while I am up there and sober up to drive home Sunday.

If you are in the area be sure to drop in.

Of all the Victorian comps, this is the most fun for sure and for the first time there will be some card carrying BJCP members there so in theory the judging standard should be alright. I am planning to pick up a BJCP point or two judging myself.

cheers

 

[Tony]

[wee stu]

Congratulations Tony, a second, a third and tied for best novice (which I think means someone who hasn't placed in beerfest before).

Congratulations also to all the other successful entrants.

awrabest, stu

 

[Ross]

yep, great performance tony, well done :beer:

 

[ozbrewer]

yeah well done to all

best i got was 4th in the wheat.....but im taking it as the first belgian wit


i got slammed with my PIls....i didnt realise it was so bad

 

[Vlad the Pale Aler]

Hmm wonder what happened to my Pale Ale which ended up in the category British Ale which is not listed on the entry form.
I suspect it may have been a gusher on opening, but I did enrol as a West Coast Brewer not an independant, as seen in the dark ale class.
I await the judges notes with bated breath.

:unsure:

Yeah well done.

You are eligible for novice if you have not placed in a Vicbrew sanctioned comp before. Traditionally Beerfest has had no interstate entries (there were 50 this year). I don't think the brewing organisations Australia wide are organised enough to keep and share such records.

Vlad - there were over 60 pale ale entries so the organiser had to split the category into British and non-British pale ales.

As for your club affiliation, I will mention it to the organiser - it may have been that anyone outside the Vicbrew clubs were deemed "independent".

 

[wee stu]

Vlad, i wonder if your pale ale arrived broken in transit. Even a gusher would have had some contents to provide some kind of score I would have thought.

My wee heavy apparently doesn't travel very well either , and for that I am glad no "club" affiliation was acknowledged

Once again, a hearty thanks to all involved in running the show, congratulations to all the successful brewers, and cheers to Paul for getting the results on line so quickly.

awrabest, stu

 

[Tony]

thanks folks

and thanks to the organises and judges :beerbang:

I was a bit dubious about how the APA would go, its a bit out there

very happy with the schwarzbier and tripple results though, that tripple just gets better and better.

cheers all

 

[Ross]

that tripple just gets better and better.

[post="108181"][/post]​

Care to share the recipe Tony?

cheers Ross

 

[Gough]

Congrats to all the placegetters. Sounds like a really well run comp. Crept under my radar this year - didn't realise it was on, but might have to give it a go next time.

Again, congrats to all the AHBers that did well this year. :beerbang:

Shawn.

[Jye]

I learnt from my first comp an American wheat can not pass for an Australian Wheat

Will we get the judges notes sent back?

 

[Ross]

Why did 4 of the British beers get no points at all?

cheers Ross...

 

[warrenlw63]

The trend for Scottish styles winning the British Ales continues too.

Could the tide be changing? :unsure:
