A reminder the regular club meeting is this Wednesday night from 7pm at the Wheaty. We’ll be interrogating ABCSA placegetters about their magic touch and secrets to brewing winning beers. Of course, we’ll get to try some too.
November 2 club event – Spring-tober-fest BBQ and beers
On Sunday, November 2, from 1pm we’re having an afternoon club event. Members and families are invited to a showcase of hoppy beers made by member teams using the hops given to us by Kickback Brewing Aldinga.
Despite our efforts to find a new venue, our good friends at East Torrens, Kensington Gardens Tennis Club, will have us on their excellent deck. Unlike BeerBQ, it’s just us this time. Expect a relaxed, family-friendly outdoor vibe. We’ll do a BBQ with low-fuss handheld food. There is a great playground next to the tennis club for the kids.
Please RSVP here in our simple form

Summer Competition, 2026
Next year’s summer comp is to be themed The Battle For The Ashes. English vs Australian styles. ESB, golden ales, English IPA, Australian Sparking and a couple of other Australian popular beers that don’t have styles but we’ll pick commercial versions to aim for. Fresh, summery, crushable. Judging will be in late February/ Early March. A little later than usual to let everyone get back up to speed after the summer break. More to come.
