Nsw State And Castle Hill Comp 2010

[Stuster]

This is to announce the NSW State Competition for 2010 will be run as part of the Castle Hill and Hills District Show Competition 2010/11. The full details are in the flyer below.

Entries close at the start of next month. There are a great range of prizes for winners as noted in the flyer and thanks to all the support from these companies.

There should be a good number of very experienced and (new but keen) judges at the show and we hope to provide detailed, constructive feedback to entrants on the beers they enter. If you are interested in acting as a judge or steward in the competition please let me know by PM or by email (if you haven't already). I will try to ensure as many people as possible are able to participate in that.

Pleas ask here for more details or PM me if you have any questions.

Good luck to all. :beer:

Cheers Stuster.

Any reason why AABC 18.7 "Other Speciality" isn't included as a style?

 

[Stuster]

No idea why that had fallen off there. 18.7 is definitely included and PDF now includes it. Thanks for pointing that out goatherder. :beerbang:

 

[barls]

what category is mead again stu

 

[goatherder]

Thanks for clarifying Stu.

 

[Stuster]

what category is mead again stu

It's not in this year, barls. With 18 categories for the AABC, I thought that was enough.

Should be back in the Castle Hill comp next year.

Hi Stu,

No American Amber this year?

Cheers
Andrew.

 

[Barry]

American Amber is not in the AABC for the last couple of years. Not Stu's doing, but I find it a strange decision because it is a great style IMHO. Only because I like it.

German Pils?

 

[Stuster]

Probably agree with Josh on that one. Really depends on how those NZ hops come across. Have a look at the guidelines for that style while drinking the beer and see if you think it fits. If the hops are very noticeable and strongly citrusy, you could enter it in the Other Specialty category as a New Zealand Pilsner or something like that.

Same situation here. Could this be judged under 18.7 Other Specialty?
p.s. Sorry Stu, can't help out this year - SWMBO's Birthday

 

[Muggus]

Excellent! Looking forward to it.

Bit of a shame that the mead catagory isn't there...would love to hear what the judges think...i'll submit some "normal" beers instead.

Couldn't see it on the form, but was there a limit of beers per style?
I have 2 Imperial IPA's that I was considering entering...can't decide which one I like better.

 

[Stuster]

Same situation here. Could this be judged under 18.7 Other Specialty?

Definitely can be put in with Other Specialty beers. I'm with Barry. We need to stage a sit-in protest at the ANHC about it. Preferably in a place where they are serving beers.

Barls and Muggus, yep, I agree it's a shame about the mead category. Just too hard to fit in I'm afraid. Maybe we can organise an unofficial category. Can anybody who is interested let me know by PM.

Yep, another thing missed about the beers per style but we would appreciate just two beers per style, Muggus. So two IIPAs it can be. Is that IIIIPA?
