Bring your beer/brews to share

Remember, our meetings are all about brewing – which includes sampling. Bring your best in bottles, growlers or kegs, and remember you earn NOOKIE entry points for the annual prize draw.

Education

Dan Rayner from BenSpoke is going to be taking us through their yeast laboratory and talk about some of the work he is doing there. That’s rad.

6-pack swap

This keeps being my favourite thing between meetings. Bring 6 of your brews and you’ll go home with a mixed 6 of beers made by your fellow club members. The more people we get the better, there isn’t a limit on the number of people who can take part and it’s a great way to get feedback for brewers of all abilities. Label your beers and post what you’re bringing on the forum https://www.canberrabrewers.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8720&p=70347#p70347

2021 Club Competition

Entries have closed for the 2021 Club Competition! Judging is next weekend on 5-6 June. Allocations have been sent around but we can always do with more people helping out and it’s a great way to see how a competition works. Check out the forum for details.

Raffle

We’ve got a variety of great prizes again in this month’s raffle, from our valued sponsors – including a beer pack from Plonk!

BJCP

The BJCP tasting course continues with wheat and some pale ales last week. We are struggling to find a commercial examples of some styles. If you want to assist, please keep an eye on the BJCP section of the forum – you may have a bottle or two of a home crafted version of the style we we can’t find are keen to take off your hands.

Forum

You may have noticed some changes in the forum lately. Apparently we had to upgrade it and the process remains underway. Tapatalk is currently not working and we’re not sure when it will be, so best access the forum through a browser on any devices.

Cheers!
