Yeh Bribie, one minute we're sampling Irish creams and the next you've disappeared into thin air.sp0rk said:
I didn't even try a beer from class 1, probably a good thing. I don't plan on taking this $60 cab ride home to often, jeebus!Ducatiboy stu said:

How were the beers on offer?
Are the beers sampled by the competitors cold? I know the judged beers are @room temp but I don't enjoy an Ale @20deg +.
Sounds like you guys had a great night.

Those Irish creams did me in so I staggered back to the pub and dreamed about Beer all night. Currently sitting at station after a bracing march over the mighty Clarence and some REAL foodat Maccas Grafton South. Great weekend. Pencilled in for next year and catch up with all next year.
Here's xpt now. Will post tourist shots when I get home. What a lovely wee city.

Judged beers were cooled, i believeCrusty said:
We were tasting from the same bottles as the judges
There was only 1 beer judged warm, due to the cooled bottle breaking when it was opened (crustacean beer...)
It was a great night, thanks again to everyone involved in running it!

It was about 10*c in the Pavillion...so they wher basically "room" temp.
There where some nice beers. About 60 all up.
Team AHB invested in some Coopers go tide us over between classes...
Must say......them outa towners sure made the night fun....
By the end of the night...we where all pissed...including the Judges..

Home again and into the Aldi Cider.
One of the best AHB get togethers ever, great to put a face to the names and all seriously funny bastards. I'll leave the blackmail shots to Matt, but I took camera for a walk around town.
Like thousands of others Grafton, to me, was just the Maccas stop on the Hwy at South Grafton, the town itself is a really picturesque and historical city. Get thee there for a trip.
I've included a pic of the room, I think it was my room. Great value for $40. Also a shot in the gents urinal, in the old days a lot of men couldn't afford a paper but they could afford a beer, so there's a long tradition of pasting the front pages so you can catch up on the news while you pee. And longest table in the World made from one tree.
Matt did an awesome job of drawing local support, like this flyer in a pub window (The Crown). Great job Matt.
