January Meeting – It’s at Little Bang!
The January meeting is this week, and in case you haven’t caught the news, we will be at Little Bang. They have some shiny new stainless to show us, and no doubt have other topics in mind to bang on about.
As usual we will have time for tastings, so if you have a beer to bring along let us know. We’re starting at 7.00pm, and the address details are below. See you there!

Summer Competition Entries Are Open
Our shiny new competition management website is now open for business. Head over to comps.sabrew.com to submit your entries for the Summer Competiton. We have been beta testing the site for a while so hopefully any bugs have been ironed out, but if you encounter any problems please email us.
2018 BJCP Study Group
If you’re interested in becoming a BJCP certified judge, we’re looking at organising a new study group for this year. The study group meets once a month, and the purpose is to work through the BJCP styles, tasting examples of each style and discussing and scoring the beers tasted. The goal is to get your judging skills to the point that you can sit the tasting exam and pass. There is also a beer and brewing knowledge aspect, which is more about personal reading. There’s a lot of written material available form a number of sources specifically aimed at helping you pass the online entrance exam.
There is a tasting exam scheduled for April. If you missed out on the last one, or want to try for a higher score, aim for this.
Anyone interested in the study group or exam should contact Gary on 0417893321
