Grafton Brewing Competition 2018

[Brew Matt]

Hi All,

The Grafton Brewing Competition is coming around once again, with the key dates being:

Closing date for entries: Friday 6th April 2018 (for local entries)
(Closing date for drop off points outside of Grafton: Thursday 29th March 2018 Close Of Business)
Judging: Saturday 14th April 2018.

More information will follow shortly. The programme will be available for download in the next day or two.

Happy Brewing!

 

[Brew Matt]

The programme & entry form are now available for download.

www.graftonbrewingcompetition.com

Programme contains the entry details including all the classes (both BJCP & non BJCP).

The entry form accompanies your bottles and is for information on your brews.

 

[Brew Matt]

The AABC site (http://aabc.org.au/) has gone down again

Does anyone know who the contacts are so this can be fixed?

The AABC guidelines are required by those entering the Grafton Brewing Comp, and while an alternate link can be setup, I think it would be good if these were available from the official site.

 

[Brew Matt]

Only 39 days until entries close!
(31 days for out of Grafton collection points)

May the hops be with you....

 

[Brew Matt]

Remember, only 16 days until entries close (on the 6th April 2018) - less if you are using an out of area a drop off point.

From what we have heard, we have all sorts of beer styles coming in, as well as non beer & 'brew foods' entries.

Still only $2 entry fee per entry!

Drop off points (with closing dates) can be found here: https://graftonbrewingcompetition.com/drop-off-points/

 

[Brew Matt]

Entries have already come in from all over Australia, but if you are a local it is not too late to enter. Drop in your bottles to the Grafton Show Office today.

Thanks to everyone that has made the effort to get their entries in, and good luck with your entries.

Yes , thanks Matt for all your effort in getting it up and running each year. Am I allowed to gloat that both my Tropical Stout and Belgian Blond scored equal high score, making me a Double Grand Champ? Catch you next year.
