The Great Kiwi Beer Festival Homebrew Competition

[Paul Finney]

Hello all,

Great Kiwi Beer Festival Homebrew Comp

I am running this event for them out of my shop along with the help of the Twisted Hop here in Christchurch. There are some great prizes thanks to our sponsors, including your beer being brewed for commercial release by the Twisted Hop.

Apologies for the late notice, but I did ask for them to confirm/announce it back in Nov, but hey what can you do!

Follow the link to find all of the information you should need, if there is anything I have missed please sing out. This is the first comp I have ran of this size (well I hope this size) so I may make the odd cock up somewhere along the line!

Good to get another big comp into the mix though. The event itself attracts about 12,000 people into Hagley park so there could be 12,000 people next year drinking your beer!

cheers

Finney

Here is a link to the details.

At some point they will also load it up to their site.

Should be a good Competition, hopefully if this continues there'll be more notice given next year.

Won't have a kiwi entry unfortunately.. just a belgian one.

Hey Paul

Can 'out-of-towners' enter via post?

Cheers

Gary

[Paul Finney]

Sure Gary, it is open to the whole of the world if they can get their beer to us!

Some really good prizes to be won so well worth entering.

cheers

Hi Paul,

Would the 'out of towners' get any feedback or judging notes back for their beer?  I have a beer I'd like to enter purely for the purpose of working out how I am going.

I am very new to brewing so I won't be holding my breath for any prizes!

Cheers

Ryan

Yep, we are going to get the judging notes back to the entrant. Depending on entries this may take a while.

And you never know, due to the lateness of them announcing it there may be less entrants so a greater chance to scoop a prize! there may also be spot prizes if we get anything else in.

[Ryan Perkins]

Thanks Paul, sounds good.
