Since its inception in 2012, the South Australian Brewing Club (SABC) has swiftly grown to become the largest and most successful brewing club in Adelaide and the country. The club embodies a diverse membership of individuals with a broad range of brewing expertise, all coming together to share knowledge and enhance their homebrewing skills.
Central to the club’s purpose is the popular monthly meeting on the third Wednesday of each month, regularly attended by over 30 participants, thanks to the generous support of The Wheatsheaf Hotel. In addition to these gatherings, the club also hosts special events and brewery visits in Adelaide and the surrounding region.
Notable highlights include the club’s involvement in brew days, exclusive tours of various breweries, and hosting the State Amateur Brewing Competition of SA (ABCSA), which draws over 350 entries.
Members of the SABC have achieved significant success, winning prestigious awards in brewing competitions, showcasing the strength of brewing in South Australia and the club’s pivotal role in nurturing and developing amateur brewers.
Beyond the competitive aspect, there are several reasons to join a homebrewing club, including learning from experienced brewers, accessing valuable resources, receiving honest feedback on brews, building social connections and friendships, and exploring new brewing styles.
The club’s newsletter emails are readily available on the website’s main page, and members are encouraged to follow the club’s Social media. Regardless of experience. we welcome enquiries about joining the club.
Unsure, attending a meeting and see for yourself. Please feel contact the club via email at info@sabrew.com.
