It's time to start thinking about brewing up your favourite beers for this year's SABSOSA Comp.

Western Australia doesn't have a qualifying comp for the nationals. Is the SABSOSA open to interstate entries this year?

Asher for now

I believe Judging for this comp was over the weekend....

Any AHB members head along to check it out?

 

[Darren]

Yep,
Was agood day. I noticed the stewards were pretty impressed with your pils Asher.
Blind judging this year which was good (ie the judges didn't see the bottles)
cheers
Darren

Good Stuff :beerbang:

Yep I went quite big with the Pils - I'm finally starting to realise how important 3 months lagering really is with these beers. They tent to taste way over hopped in the beginning... but balance over time...

I look forward to seeing the results...

 

[GMK]

OK - they have 2 categories left to judge..

pretty sure it is Wheats & Belgians.

They are being judged tonight and the results hopefully posted on the web page tonight....

For all to see :beer:

Apparently, around 200 entries.... :super:

Yep, Boh pils and German lager straight from the fermenter

I took part in pt.2 of the judging for SABSOSA with BrewBrad and others.

We tackled the Belgian class late into the night with the winner being absolutely stunning. There were a few 'interesting' :blink: beers and we left the judging with a great set of dimples.

Results should be out soon.

[Darren]

Dimples from puckering?

 

[tangent]

Tell us more about the "interesting" belgians.
Musta been quite a variety!
And most through the roof in %alc I'd imagine.

 

[tdh]

Yes Darren :blink:

tdh

 

[Mr Bond]

I think we all got the same email. I am sure it will be up or emailed with the attachment some time soon.

Bit of a tease though.

 

[Darren]

Funny,
I am a trophy winner too. I suspect you are right Aaron.

RESULTS UP ON THE SABSOSA WEBPAGE

Hi everyone

I've just uploaded the 2005 competition results.

(I've tested the link on my main computer but on another the formatting went a bit funny. If things are a bit weird on your computer then please PM me.)

Thanks to the judges and sponsors of this years competition. Thanks also to Aaron for providing some webspace whilst I come to grips with Wiki webpages!

Congrats to all the winners and hopefully you can get along to the presentation at the Holdfast Bay Bowling Club this Sunday (18th) at 11:30am for a midday start.

Cheers
Tim (rookie Sabsosa webmaster)
