Champion Porter





1 Gold, 5 Silvers, 1 Bronze and the Champion Porter Trophy - that's the haul from our trip to this years' Australian International Beer Awards held in Mebourne.




And let me say - wowie kazowie! The brewery team are buzzing from the results and a big hats off to Jess for her Chocolate Porter. It will be some time before you can wipe the grins off our faces.




Our regulars also did well with the Kolsch, Pale & Bock picking up Silver medals and a Bronze went to our Lager.




On a personal note from me, many thanks both to the local homebrewing fraternity for their support, inspiration and assistance as well as to my friends in the craft brewing industry who have never hesitated to offer assistance, and the chance to share a beer, whenever the need arose.




Cheers and happy tasting,




Keith

HUB Brew Day

Just has the boys from the Hunter United Brewers (HUB) up for a brew day.

Was a pretty relaxed day and the guys had some fun & ended up walking away with their cubes of AIPA (Centennial and Amarillo earlier in the piece and Citra at flame out).

We will post some pics from the day on our web site.

I am looking forward to the next one.

Cheers,

Keith
