Queensland Amateur Brewing Championship 2012

[NickB]

Just got home...

Huge thanks to the organisers (Janelle and co), the MC Mark, the Alehouse24 for the venue, and all the sponsors, and a big thanks to Bacchus and Ross for the free beer.....


Huge congrats to all the entrants (I even got 2 Highly Commended's for my 5 entries), to Dave for the Champion Beer (3 years in the making!), and especially to Sim as Champion Brewer for 2012. And of course, to BABBs as Champion Club for 2012 (a title we now have again )

Thanks to all for a great night, and look forward to next year!


Cheers

This means for postage, youll have to aim to get them down there by Friday October 12th. Regular or express post youll be looking at sending beer at the beginning of the week that starts with Monday 8th October.

There is an alternative drop off point for Brisbane based brewers.

BABBs are bulk sending beers from Bacchus/Craftbrewer. If you are in Brisbane and can make it out to the shop, drop your beers off by Saturday 6th October and well make sure they get to Melbourne safely and in time. (BABBs guys can bring their beer to tonights meeting also)

Dont forget to include payment and fill out the entry form for each beer.

IMPORTANT Queensland would like to make sure we have the maximum number of entries in the National competition.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP if you are unable to (or dont want to) send any of the beers that you brewed that qualified.

If anyone pulls out, the next best beer will be elevated into that slot to make sure we send a full swag of 54 beers down giving us a shot at the Champion State etc...

Cheers and lets give those southern states a touch up,

Dave
