I'd like to be the first to thank Mike and Colin for organising a fine inaugural Wellington (home)Brewers Conference at the Malthouse, I had a great afternoon and it’s so nice to be able to put names to faces.
Congratulations to Steff for winning.
Also a big thanks to Soren (sorry if I’ve misspelt) for the shout of a pint of “8 wired”. Very nice.
Out of style in an APA but I remember thinking that you may have stumbled onto something. Remember that Orval, the classic 'brett' beer - and one of my favourites ever, is quite hoppy itself... if only i had more time to play.
Interesting. I have a little nottingham left. I could maybe do a mini batch and see if I can pick up some brett. I haven't tried Orval but it's No.1 on my must try Belgian list!
I've learned so much since the WBC comp and it hasn't even been a week. The notes were exactly what we needed!
Darn, sounds like I missed quite the event:( hopefully I wont be quite this busy in January and I'll come over with a dry stout, mmmmm, already have a recipe in mind but I don't think Stu would classify it as being to style.....
thanks to all the people that tried my brown ale, I hope you liked myfirst efforts!
Simon, that is technically a misspell, it's "Søren" but no one without a danish keyboard can type that (thanks a lot mum and dad:-), so I'll let it slide...
I don't think Stu would classify it as being to style.....
don't worry... dion and i are keen to enter next time so we sussed out some potential judges who might be as soft as we were this time.
now, fellas, what happened to Belgian Wit? It was the style first mooted for the event and I was excited about it... I've been thinking of brewing one anyway so i thought it'd be perfect timing. Perhaps I should brew a Belgian Wit Stout in protest.
