Great Kiwi Beer Festival Homebrew Competition - over $2k of prizes!!

[Paul Finney]

Apologies for the spam, but I thought a few of you would want to know about this competition.

This is the second year of running it and we want it to be bigger than ever! It costs $10 per beer to enter if you are a SOBA member, and $15 if you are not. 

This is open to all of New Zealand, and even overseas brewers if you can get them here!! 

Entries must be registered before the 6th March, and received by the 14th March. Judging is on the 21st March at Harringtons Riccarton bar.
