Queensland Homebrewing Conference 2015

[Brewers Choice]

There appears to have been a small hiccup with the booking site over the last day or two, saying the conference was booked out. This is not the case and there are still plenty of tickets available. The site has been fixed, so if you have tried to book your tickets, have another go now. Cheers David

Same, tickets to the lot sorted.

Any tips on accommodation in the area from the locals?

Has anyone come back to you on accommodation ?

 

[Bomber Watson]

Yeah I had a chat to Dave and had a bit of a google, ends up we can stay at one of the other blokes missuses dogs breeders cousins place which isn't to far or something like that.

Found a few places prior to that, google maps and search for accom around the conference area brings up quiet a bit. Few real cheap backpackers just over the river.

Mantra or ridges would be ideal but seems there booked out.

Cheers.

How's the spiegelau tasting session going to work do we just get tickets to trade for beers through the day or is it a sit down type of thing? Looking forward to it

Have heard good things about the Spiegelau session. It's a sit down, have a beer and learn scenario.

 

[Radshoes]

Have a few beers and learn scenario. See how different glassware changes the taste of different beers. = spieglau glassware

Hi guys. The Speigelau session should be pretty good - we are doing the three-glass craft beer kit this time. They take you through the three beers, comparing them in standard beer glasses and with the Speigelau glasses. You will certainly notice the difference. I use mine now every time I have a beer at home and at least try to find a similar glass if I am out drinking. It's a very pleasant hour or so. All beers provided by us as well.

Absolute last call for tickets. Ticket site had issues again over the weekend so we are open until 12am tonight. Get in now if you are still inclined. Catering numbers go in first thing in the morning.

on the web site its says you get 4 glasses worth 79.95 has this changed?

Hope not

Anyone who intends to catch a train in from north side. Check your times. Northgate to Gympie rail is closed all weekend. Buses are running but will add a bit more time on travel.

Well the 2015 conference is over for another year.....a great event....I enjoyed it immensely....some stand out beers....specially the dinner beers.

The best beer (by a long shot) for me was the dinner APA brewed by Nathan Semmens.....wow wow wow...I would crawl over broken glass to be able to brew a beer as good as this..... so well done Nathan.

Cheers All
Mark

A big thanks to all the organisers and sponsors.....much appreciated!
