July Meeting Preview

By Nick Wiseman, Editor

This Thursday evening is the next meeting of the Canberra Brewers and we’ll be listening in to Paul Haesler and Patrick Baggoley talk about their selected beers in the Brewers Showcase.

Paul will discuss his hefeweizen and how he goes about brewing them – for those who have never tasted one of his decocted wheat beers be prepared for a treat.

Patrick will have not one but two American Pale Ale’s available to discuss – particularly the difference between the two with one being made with commercial Chinook while the other used home-grown flowers.

As normal both styles will be available for tasting and the brewers available for questions.

The raffles this month will see the first prize winner spending the morning brewing with Richard Watkins who will be making a batch of Wig and Pen Cider and will also take home 20L of pure apple juice to use those newfound cider making skills on.

Second prize will be a 12 month rental and first refill of a 6kg CO2 bottle from Supagas, also from Supagas is a top quality BBQ utensil set for third prize – all you need for the perfect BBQ to accompany some wonderful home-made beer.

So brave the cold, enjoy some beer and make sure you don’t miss the next meeting – if you do then you may miss out on all the information about this years Wig and Pen brew day which is scheduled for later this month…
