Brewers Brewer | MAR 2020
About the comp
Essentially this is an anonymous beer swap with online scoring. All 26 entrants brewed and bottled 12 beers, that were then swapped into two groups for judging. Everyone then gets 12 mixed beers in return to judge over 2 weeks. This is a first for any club and was all made possible by building an inhouse web application. We are looking to host another competition in the year, winter of 2020.

Battle of the Brews | NOV 2019
Thanks to everyone who entered in ‘Battle of the Brews’ for 2019, we had quite a few entries (up from 2018).
On Saturday it was a full house at 10Toes. The stakes were high, as the winning brew would be brewed at 10Toes, kegged, and distributed to bars around the sunshine coast. A great opportunity for an avid home brewer to experience the commercial side of craft brewing. All possible thanks to Rupert at 10Toes!
This is the second time the competition has been run and the brewery has grown significantly over the last year with all new equipment recently installed. That means the battle just got bigger. From the previous 500L batch, the winner would now be part of a 2000L batch. That’s 5700 beers, or 240 cartons, or 40 Kegs!!! Yep, a S%!t tin of beer!
