  • A broader range of Styles will required that the brewer list specialty ingredients (Specialty Beers & Belgian Clone beers) or sub-styles (IPA's for example), again full details are in the Entry Form

Dangit, I knew I should have gotten brewing earlier for this, probably won't have anything decent ready for the show
 
Just to be annoying, you have contradicting instructions on your entry form ;)



ENTRY FORM MUST BE WRAPPED AROUND ONE BOTTLE AND SECURED WITH AN ELASTIC
BAND


ONE FORM PER ENTRY - PLEASE PHOTOCOPY FORM AS REQUIRED
PLEASE COMPLETE BOTTLE LABEL(S) BELOW - CUT ALONG DOTTED LINE AND TAPE BOTTLE
DESCRIPTION LABEL SECURELY AROUND BOTTLE
(S)
IF YOU ARE ENTERING 2 BEERS OF THE SAME STYLE YOU CAN ADD ‘A’ or ‘B’ TO THE BOTTLE
LABEL AND ENTRY FORM TO IDENTIFY WHICH RESULTS APPLY TO EACH ENTRY
 
I read it as each bottle entered must have a label taped securely around it and then your entry form is secured to one of the bottles with an elastic band. Anyone from around Coffs Harbour area thinking of entering? I'd like to but don't know if I'd be able to get to a drop off location.
 
Ahh, that would make sense
 
Scotty is onto it.
Both bottles need to have labels securely taped to bottles and enrty form and fee attached with rubber band so it can be easily removed during sorting.

Entries can be posted Scotty.

Cheers
Adam

I'll be in Coffs this weekend if you've already got beers ready

Comp open Nationally? Prizes awarded nationally or only to local entries?

both paper and online entries for the one bottle?

I assume the paper entry is to attach to the bottle?
 
I should be able to steward one of the days (first time, go easy ;))

Question: Will entries be cold stored between cutoff date and judging?
Hi Fungrel,
I can't speak for the HUB club about what they do when they get the bottles. Also can't talk for other drop off points.

However I am a drop off point and I will be able to store them cool in my shop, but not refrigerated.

Goof luck

Cheers Steve

Yob,
There are no restrictions on where the entries are from, all will be judged together and prizes allocated on merit.
A paper AND online entry will be required for each entry, otherwise the organisers will have to spend days on data entry, when we could be judging beer :chug:
And yes, paper entry should be attached to each bottle.

Fungrel,
The entries WILL be cold stored between the cutoff date and judging.
 
So what's the details for stewarding?
Which day do you need them most?
 
For regional and interstate entries the official drop off point is:

I'll be posting some entries next week. What's the preferred postal address?
