Big ups and thanks to all involved who gave their time and afford to make it all happen, these things don't go smoothly unless you have a dedicated group of people bringing it together.

Cheers
 
It is a very good event to attend

Its not often you get to sample such a wide variety of beers :chug:

There where quite a number of BJCP beers entered which was also good

I was looking forward to coming down for the fun but sadly had to teach all day... next year.
 
C'mon lads; spill the beans. Who got naked & rowdy etc? After-party at Roches? Any famous judges? I was unable to make it this year. I decided to give the Pavilion Steward a well earned break.
 
How'd the event go in terms of entries this year Matt? I left it too late but will be back (and yes hopefully attending Stu) next year!

Do I receive the wooden spoon in the mail?
 
Results will be posted shortly, currently compiling for the local newspaper.

Look forward to your entry in the 2017 comp!
 
I'm curious to know how many entries there were in each category. Still happy enough to claim a place in a group of 1 though :D
