The Melbourne Brewers are once again running the British Ales competition at Oscars Alehouse, 7 Bayview Road Belgrave, Victoria (Melways Ref75 G10) on Sunday 16th May 2010 from 1:30pm. Entries close 12pm Saturday 8th May 2010 for nominated drop off points, but entries will be accepted on the day at the venue.
There are some new things to note about the competition this year. Firstly, we are expanding the competition from two categories to three. The categories for this year are:
Category 1 : Mild, Northern English Brown, Irish Red and Scottish Ale (80/-)
Category 2: Ordinary bitter, Best bitter and Extra Special Bitter
Category 3: English Barleywine, Strong Scotch Ale and Old Ale (English Strong Ale)
All first place getters in each Category will win a one-year subscription to Beer & Brewer, along with a trophy.
As we did with Beerfest, entry fees include a discounted rate for members of recognised Vicbrew clubs ($8/entry) - just another reason to get involved with your local club. Independent brewers are a $10/entry.
Entry Process
The new innovation for this year is that we will be trialling an online entry system in an attempt to streamline the process and make things easier for all involved. If this system is a success, we will look at rolling it out across future competitions. Please feel free to provide feedback on this system to [email protected] so we can make improvements for future competitions.
To enter this year's competition, please visit British Ales Competition and record your entries online - full entry instructions are on the site. Entries recorded with the site can then be dropped off at any of the following locations:
- The Brewers Den
- Grain & Grape
- Greensborough Homebrewing
- Australian Homebrewing/Brewcraft (Oakleigh)
- On the day at Oscar's Alehouse in Belgrave
All visitors welcome, come and sample the range of great microbrewed beers available on tap at Oscar's Alehouse. We look forward to seeing you on the day!!
