Ok Queensland Brewers, I have received notification from the president of the Canberra brew club that they would be happy to judge the Qld beers in this years qualifying competition in Canberra. The beers would be judged with the Canberra entries, but will be awarded places against other Qld entries only, so it will be a Qld comp. Here is the email from Kurtz to me.

If there is not a properly constituted qld comp..that is three qualified/experienced judges etc etc then we will be happy to judge your beers.
The process would be that they would be judged in the same flights as ours, blind of course , but when the scores were collated they would be seperated, thus if a beer from Qld were the highest scoring in a flight and the seond highest were and ACT then the both the Qld and the ACT would be given a first place. A Qld beer may come 8th in the ranking but be the 2nd highest Qld beer, thus would be awarded 2nd and if it had sufficient points would be eligible for the nats.
Without making too much of the ACT judges we have consistently had the best brewers in Australia, our judges are very experienced, include many National winners as well we have six members who have completed the BJCP course.
Your beers will be judged by the best, if they score well in the ACT (we are a little harsher than most)then they should (given a high standard of judging,) do well in the Nats.
Of course if there is a properly constituted Qld comp then it takes precedence I guess.

As there is no Qld comp organised in Qld, and it is too late for me to organise one here, this would be the best option for Qlders to get into the Nats.
There will also be media coverage of the event as per this email.
Andrew
Our judging is taking place in the Board Room at the Eastlake FC in Canberra.
There will be press (TV, radio and Print) and pPublic (from the viewing stand)
Do you object to our using the fact that Qld beers are being judged as well in Publicity Blurb...

I have agreed to the above, the more involved the better.
Next year I will be hosting a State Competition here in Bundaberg, we have several experienced judges to start with and have been running a local comp here for about 9 yrs.
Here is the link to the canberra Brewers site A few changes have to be made to the forms but it will be done soon http://www.canberrabrewers.org/
I would like to personally thank Kurtz and the Canberra Brewers for giving us the opportunity to enter the competition, it is gratefully appreciated.
All entries are to be clearly marked QUEENSLAND.
Cheers
Andrew
