The ACT Amateur Brewing Competition

The ACTABC is on 20-22 September at Zierholz Brewery in Fyshwick.

If you haven’t done so already, jump onto the competition website (here) and register your brews (beer, cider and mead) and your judging or stewarding availability over the weekend. You still have time to brew a sneaky ale or two before entry drop off closure on 15 September.

We will need all the help we can get so even if you don’t have previous experience, still register or reach out to discuss judging and stewarding options. The first judging session is on the Friday night followed by morning and afternoon session on Saturday, and wrapping up with a Sunday morning session.

Please don’t leave registration to the last minute as this will make it much harder to organise a great competition. Food (and beverages) will be provided. The best three brews from each category get the opportunity to represent ACT at the Nationals. If you have any questions, please contact Ed or Nic.

Carton Swap 2024

Last year was big and it’s happening again at the December 2024 meeting. You can find out more details and sign up on the forum here.
