QLD Beer Week 2013

[bconnery]

Just starting a thread to see who might be out and about at what events during this week.
While work might get in the way a little I plan to get to a few things this time so I'm curious to see who might be around.

I'm definitely doing the sour event on the last Sat, and probably more than one visit to The Scratch...

No one on here knows me but I'm excited about infuse the goat.

Where is Chappo?

 

[bconnery]

On an unrelated note anyone up for a sneaky beer or two this evening?

 

[Smokomark]

Where is Chappo?

He'd have to join the queue after Rowy.

Would have been but too late Ben, I'm getting collected from work.
I must get some sour tickets pronto.

I'll be at the German Club if you end up passing through that way.

Well that doesn't sound dangerous at all...
At the moment I'm in the city for a while and then meeting Shell for dinner and a movie but if she ditches me as work is crapping on her again, which could happen, I may well be in touch...

I don't want to toot the usual horn...but really...only one place on the Gold Coast doing anything :unsure:

 

[CamM]

Looks like there are some wildcat events happening (not sure why they are not part of the sanctioned events, rumors abound). Thought this might be a good place to list them so that we all know what is happening when.

1. Holgate V Feral + Ribs at the Embassy (http://embassybar.com.au/event-details/?pose=715), Monday evening
2. Beer & BBQ Masterclass w/ Pete Mitcham (http://www.goodbeers.com.au/18-july-southern-bbq/), Thursday evening
3. Green Beacon are doing a takeover at SuperWhatNot.... at some time during the week.

If anyone else knows more, please add them to the list!

There are HEAPS of events that aren't on the Good Beer Weeks rather crappy website, due to the fact that the 'organiser' asking for some quite hefty sums of money for venues just to host events; and some venues took offence to this (cant imagine why.....Imagine telling someone they had to pay you money to do an event in their own venue...)

My advice is to look on the individual websites/ facebooks of your favorite venue to find out what they are doing.

4 Hearts is doing an 8 course 8 beer dinner at Alehouse 24.

It's a pity no one thought of screening the Beer Hunter movie as part of Good Beer Week (possibly with the first episode of the series first up for those young enough to have missed it.).
It could be done on a rather elaborate style like this - https://www.facebook.com/events/447126072050085/
or as the premiere did it - "I keep thinking of a rule when viewing the movie: when Michael drinks, everyone drinks. It would certainly help move a lot of beer."

Don't know about beer week but I will be at the Stanthorpe Brewery Thursday night Perry.

Say hello to the cold for me Rowy. Are you staying there?, I'll go up when the frost stops.

I could be a starter for this kempy, its way past time I stuck my head in the door.

 

[Rowy]

Staying at the Brewery!

 

[winkle]

Good man, top work :chug:

 

[Liam_snorkel]

Let us know how it goes Rowy, I'll be heading that way later in the year

 

[Smokomark]

The porter there is a cracker, and the Irish red was quite drinkable too. Make sure you get Tony to give you the guided tour of the brewery.

I did think of it but my screening copy only arrived on Friday. I'm looking for a venue, but it will be after the beer week.

It is a top movie! The beer community did a great thing crowd funding it.

 

[winkle]

Let me know when you do :beerbang:

 

[Will88]

Booked in for the Brewin Transfer at Kerbside so far.

And the homebrewers showcase at the Scratch.

Here's hoping it's a slow week at work.

 

[winkle]

I'll be with a few mates at Portabella/Moo Brew for a start, Archive for trivia probably, then a couple of others

 

[WSC]

If you want a laugh and a hangover on Tuesday you have to go to the scratch on Monday night!

Should be a good night, Im sure as the beers are finished through the night the competition will only get more heated. With Dan in control it could get out of hand.

We'll just have to get him have a few Billy Bs and everything will remain calm.....
