Thirroul Seaside Festival

[Ray_Mills]

Hi All
The IBU's (Illawarra Brewers Union) have decided to run a National Homebrew Competition in Late March early April in conjuntion with The Thirroul Seaside Festival.ates
Its a large Festival just South of Sydney and has a huge amount of Press and TV Coverage. The club will have a stall at the festival and tasting for those interested.
We have permission to run the competition and it will have a limited number of styles for this year.
The competition will be registed with the BJCP and all judging will be within the BJCP guidelines and judged by the the new Australian qualified BJCP judges.
At this early stage we are thinking of 4 Beer Styles. We hope to make this an annual event and as it grows the styles will grow.
Will keep you all posted soon of the competition details, Styles, dates and entry information.
Cheers
Ray

Likewise Jye,

If only I could stop drinking the better beers I make! Will be hard to set them aside for comps. I think I can, I know I can :lol:

Thanks to the IBU's for putting it together, top work! :super:

Cheers,
Jarrad

even the slightest hint as to the 4 styles Ray..? :beer:

IF Ray is entering there will have to be a Belgian section - that is to cover the weird and funky flavours Ray has been producing from his place lately.

Maybe for Ray sake there could be a category just for Lacto infections....
