I'm considering organising a beer tasting competition, to give people an opportunity to show-off how precise thier tastebuds can be.
In short there would be a blind tasting of approx 25 beers [5 in 5 rounds], and people would asked to identify which beers they were tasting. [I thought it would be kind of neat to have teams [like a trivia quiz arrangement] of tasters as well.
At the end of the day the most accurate taster [and tasting team] would be given a round of applause and maybe even a prize if i can organise one.
Would people be interested in participating in this? If so would you be willing to pay a couple of dollars to cover the cost of the beer?
A couple of other questions:
Do you think I should break the rounds up into categories [either by style of beer or perhaps by overseas/australian/australian boutique etc?]
Should i post a list of the beers to be tasted on the web first so that people can have the opportunity to practice before the big day?
Hopefully this experiment might go some way toward answering some of those age old questions like can you tell the difference between VB, Tooheys and more expensive beers, and is there a difference between Melbourne and Victoria Bitter at all!
