:icon_offtopic: Does the Mac have a new brewer?

Sam has moved on. Drew who was the assist brewer is now the head brewer at the Macca.

Beers,

:icon_offtopic: Does the Mac have a new brewer? I might pop in there for a while Friday night on my way out so I want to make sure they're still producing a good drop (I wouldnt bother going there just to drink megaswill)

Yes. Andrew Moore, who has worked there for some time, and is the genius behind the Diggers Salute, is now running the brewery:

Andrew Moore is stepping up to head the brewery at Schwartz, and therefore takes Sam's place on the judging panel.

Just bumping the thread along to remind anyone who has a bottle or two that entries are open until tomorrow.

Also, if you're in town on Sat, start with a beer at the Macquarie! $3 schooners of Schwartz beers in the judging room, if I heard Andrew correctly.

Also, there will be some credits on the video game in the brewery bar after the judging. And I'll take on anyone brave enough to try their luck at a game of pool

I'm really looking forward to this Saturday, especially the 25 worders describing the beers. Should be a fun comp!

Barry, hope you're feeling better soon!

Yes, judging sheets and scores will be provided to all entrants. If you're there on the day, you'll get them on the spot. Instant feedback!

[joshuahardie]

I know.... something I will have to consider.

working for a bus company, it could be a bit hit and miss getting one, and getting there on time

Driving might be the more reliable option..
Ill think about it though.

 

[Doc]

Is driving to Ettalong and jumping on the ferry to Palm Beach then an Express Bus an option ?
Ferry details.

Doc

 

[joshuahardie]

yep that is also an option that i can look into.

thanks

A 50l keg is about 120 Schooners. At $3 each I think I might need to go to the ATM

Kabooby :icon_cheers:

The one weekend I was hoping for a washout and there's not a cloud in the sky. Looks like I won't be attending.
