Call me a cynic, flame suit zipped up, but..

Did WAL happen to enter 40 different beers in each comp, X-Tract around 30 times and Rapid Creek 20 times?

 

[Linz]

Or maybe more like the only home brew shop within driving distanceof Bathurst, that happens to sell their own brand, seeing that Rydal aint too far from Lithgow and Blayney is the same distance from Bathurst as the other two but S/W instead of S/E....

Nice results for the shop/s

Which pubs did they pull the judges from???


Zipped up with the asbestos undies on


Nice AD by the way

 

[Trough Lolly]

<_<
Looking forward to seeing Wal's entries at the Nationals then... h34r:

 

[Duff]

I like how a Pilsner won 1st in the Bitter Ale at Rydal.

 

[KoNG]

and @ lithgow... rapid creek stout got 1st and 2nd in the "old/brown ale" category, But could only muster a 3rd in the "stout" category

 

[warrenlw63]

I think you have to be over 65 to enter. :unsure:

The Results Speak For Themselves, Country Brewer Brand Concentrates

Now without an education in linguistics, I would like to point out that the salesman or manufacturer is "speaking" for the results.

Now how can we find out about these regional comps so that we may enter them in the future?

Shouldnt there be some kind of link through the RAS web site??

 

[///]

And I'd like to ask about the judging standards and where the judges were drawn from?

 

[PostModern]

Kit only shows are they?

 

[Armstrong]

... Or they could be good.

 

[Barry]

Good Day
From what I know from the past the judges are mainly from the Bathurst Brewers Club, the people that have been responsible for the large and very successful Bathurst Comp in the past. I have been fortunate to judge and socialise with them over the last few years.
Geez I miss Bathurst.

 

[Linz]

So why did the Bathurst comp go belly up??

obviously the shows are still on, but no support for the brew comp??

Corporate greed??(ie: no returns to make ads of??)

Or did the Bathurst brewers bust up??

If the many Wal's, and their mates, wish to strut their stuff on a less localised stage, we would be happy to receive them at ANAWBS

They can be assured they will receive constructive judging and comments from Australia's latest BJCP recognised competition.

ANAWBS is open to all Australian amateur brewers, from kit based to all grain. If you think your beer cuts the mustard in its designated style, we would love to have it.

Two classes do have brewing restrictions -

The Mash Paddle is Australia's premier all grain only competition,

And there is also an exclusively Kit Based class (this year for Australian Lager) - amply suited to brews (to style) based on the Wal's range of hopped concentrates.

Come on Wal!

Well said wee stu

I would also like to know why the regional comps have been missed by us in the big smoke. As for Wal, I reckon he should change his name to "Showbags!"

 

[Armstrong]

So why did the Bathurst comp go belly up??

Bathurst Comp is still on, it just isn't a part of the Bathurst Show any more. Local sponsorship of the event is quite strong with the major sponsor being the local radio station. I think it is planned for November.

I would also like to know why the regional comps have been missed by us in the big smoke.

These comps have been going forever ... well as long as I can remember. It was more the case that Brewers in the big smoke snubbed these local comps. I don't think they care either way, it is a fun comp for these local communities. Bathurst Brewers would be the ones to contact for details.

That would be great! I will put it up on the TCB site if thats ok with you STU?

As for Wal, I reckon he should change his name to "Showbags!"

I don't get it

 

[WillM]

Well remember Wal has his own comp in July.

He was kind enough to keep me drinking for a long time last year.

I entered 2 porters, both robust, into my local show last week undr :" Dark or Old - Own recipie" . I got a 2nd for one off them.

The winner was the same bloke who has won for the last 100 years.I am pretty sure that my porter was just a bit to robust for them.

I also noticed that the chief steward won number of categories, and came second in a few others... :unsure:
