What happened at Darlo's 1st Brewshare of 2013?

On Tuesday 19th February we saw the first Brewshare of 2013 take place with home brewer Dave Gumm at the Helm. The theme on this occasion was anything with an Australian Hop in it. We had around 10 entries in the Aussie hop class and 4 in the open. Winner of the open class was Daniel with a cracking Rye IPA.

There were IPA’s, Wheat Beers, Lagers, Belgians and even a Californian Steam beer all made with Aussie hops. After a long time judging the Aussie Hop beers, there was a tie on one of the tasting tables, the final 2 beers were Bretts Rich Smooth Dark Wheat Beer and Michaels Belgian Golden Strong Ale that tasted as though it had been brewed in Belgium. Brett took home the $100.00 voucher for beer of the night.

The next Brewshare will be on Tuesday 28th May 7pm, and the style of the night will be Sour Beers.

If you think you have what it takes click this link, tickets are $20 and that includes nibbles too. 

Darlinghurst's first Brewshare of 2013

We are only 10 days away from our first Brewshare of 2013!!

For those who are not familiar with Brewshare, once every quarter Dave Gumm from Daves Home Brewing  hosts a night here at the Local Taphouse in Darlinghurst which allows home brewers to bring along their creations and sample each others beers. Each time the group vote which beer is the winner, they then set the theme for the next Brewshare. The group split up, discuss individual techniques and methods whilst nibbling on tasty treats from the kitchen. 

The theme this time is 'Any beer with an Australian Hop used in it'. It's a simple and straight forward task but what other ingredients and flavours will the home brewers come with? How does one rise to the top in this challenge? What will make his or her brew the best, better than the rest? 

Tickets are only $20 which includes tastes of the other brewers beers and nibbles from the kitchen. If you think what it takes and you want to join in click here.
