Hot on the heels of our success at the Australian International Beer Awards, we have entered both our Premium Pale Ale and Amber Ale into the International Beer Challenge. This is the largest packaged beer event in the world and was held in London last week. Judging took place over 2 days at the White Horse Pub at Parson's Green. For those Antipodeans' in London, I'm sure you'll agree this is a great spot to drink beer...and a fitting host for this event (especially if the sun was shining).
Results are out next week so stay tuned...
BTW, one of our Flavour Crew, Stuart "the Colonel" Dare, has managed to get his hands on some leftover brew from the judging. Enjoy Stu, and let us know what you think.
Pete was recently in Japan and enjoyed a tasty Hawthorn Pale Ale on the slopes of Mt. Fuji. Sure it was freezing cold and blowing a gale, but the Pale Ale made the trip well worth while!!
Beer & Brewer Expo is to be held at Federation Square, Melbourne on May 20-22. There will be trade only and public tasting sessions to attend. Meet the brewers (including us), choose from 100's of local & imported beers and ciders to taste. Our Pale and Amber ales will be flowing! Also attend presentations (beer & food matching, home brewing and beer tasting masterclasses) hosted by a celebrity cast - Jamil Zainasheff (USA), Roger Protz (UK) and 'Fast Ed' Halmagyi (Aus).
Come and say g'day to us - you'll find us at the Flinders Portfolio stand.
