I think that was a **** you and goodnight, have a good life kind of statement guys.Degraves said:Vicbrew should be shot? Bigcall jay. Have any of you bigmouths ever been hands on? apart from AHB? I dont think so.
If you had so, there are volunteers then there are forum members then there is minimal hands on. Manticle is way out of line and anyone else to say shut the comp down until conditions suit oneself, maybe a reasonable request yet out of chief steward controls, Practicably no? maybe yes?
The chicken shit hearts whom posted troll above at a HUGEE guess have not participated first hand yet are simply trolling for an argument.
Nothing changes around here, even peas n corn is still as dumb as dogshit.
Agreed. Glass should be room temp.BEERHOG said:I for one would not like my beer served in a chilled glass. Cool for sure rather than warm but definitely not chilled.
Degraves, thank you for your observations. I appreciate them.Degraves said:its a hobby and you should view as such, no there is not any tilt angles, never met a steward yet who cant pour a beer, the day peeps, competitors start whinging about stewards is when competitions are stuffed. Stewards are great people and some I have known are better palate wise than the judges, its just what they chose to do. I was a steward then judged and would be a steward tomorrow.
I agree with you, 'though any steward that I trained wouldn't let it get to the table in the first place. I have STANDARDS!!manticle said:Judges or stewards should have sent them back.
Mantcle - Would you like to be my protege?????manticle said:Pull your your head in. If I, as a judge or a steward got a warm glass, I'd ask for a replacement - to be fair to the entrants. Considering the effect you mentioned it's hardly a big ******* deal. I imagine the conversation would be along these lines:
'Can i have a cool glass please?'
'No worries, they are a bit warm aren't they?'
Of course it's a hobby - you think I don't know that?
Your response is unwarranted and rude. Make sure you buy me a beer if you steward or judge the next Vicbrew (or any of the comps in between - I'm likely to be at most trying to 'fix' everything to my exacting standards). We can talk about grand finals then.
Hmmm.....See above!!vortex said:It's definitely a hobby - but still most of us take it very seriously and don't want factors out of our control to determine the final result.
Mantickler is the kind of steward I'd want stewarding my beer - from the sound of his response he treats the beers he pours with care and attention, just like it was his own.
Are you a judge &/or a Steward? If not, then I would urge you to give it a go, so that you can walk a mile in my shoes. Once you've seen how the whole operation works, then & ONLY THEN will I listen to your opinion.jaypes said:Anyone who serves beer in a warm glass should be shot, especially in a competition
I'm just leaving this one for cogitation so far.......Degraves said:Vicbrew should be shot? Bigcall jay. Have any of you bigmouths ever been hands on? apart from AHB? I dont think so.

Let me explain how it happens at Vicbrew/AABC level:Bridges said:Did the stewards know the glasses were hot before they poured? If so it seems pretty poor to me that they didn't stop and request some cooler ones.
All any one wants out of any contest is a level playing field and the opportunity to perform at their best. To suggest thats what you want isn't arrogant, rude, or at all out of line. Thats about fairness.
Also not everyone enters thinking they are going to win, but to get some honest feed back about their brew, so they can improve. It's made hard if your beer isn't presented well. I'd be disapointed to hear that had happened to an entry I'd put in.
Yeah, I've got one.MartinOC said:Any further questions on serving beers at competitions?
Actually, that was a severely cut-down version of what I originally wrote & I had to re-write it with an absolute SKINFUL (someone pushed the idiot-button last night!) :icon_drunk:toper01 said:A well written description of what happens at Vicbrew and the AABC's Martin.As someone who's had the pleasure of judging at Vicbrew and also stewarding ,I can attest to your professionalism.p.s. I'll bring my own glass for the Parabola tasting
