BrewCon 2023 Comp

[SMP Brewery]

Ahh, takes me back to my uni days.

I’ll have a pint of slops please.

NAB BLAM results will probably be posted before BrewCon scores are up.

 

[Stu's Brews]

Scores to be uploaded once 'back to base' - later today if they are traveling now?

'Aiming' to have scoresheets uploaded by end of the week...

Could be cynicism but doesn't that all sound a bit familiar?

Not cynical at all. A reasonable conclusion based on prior experience.

Bear in mind that "base" is Cornwall and its a long drive from London...and I assume that picture is from a social media post made today....I'd be surprised if it happens. If he still has to enter all the scores and placings he wont be wanting to do that after a long drive. If the scores have already been entered then it just takes a click of one button for them to be live.

I'm suferring from that old adage...

Fool me once...shame on you.
Fool me twice...shame on me.

Was posted at approx. 1:30pm today so probably a fair assumption it won't be done today then as I'd imagine if it was just the one click to go it would have been done already.

I'll check back next August

Well...I messaged the organiser directly and was told not 58 minutes ago that the results should be posted tonight.

 

[nickjdavis]

Looks like the results are being entered now as they are updating/appearing sporadically.

 

[Deadhead]

Congrats to the winners!!

Scores in for two of mine, one still not up still. Looking forward to the feedback sheets (when they pop up in a few months...)

 

[Leon103]

I scored 37 for both of mine.......

 

[JockyBrewer]

Scoresheets are up. Please let me know if you have any issues with any of them.

 

[Deadhead]

Great judges - good feedback on my beers. Happy with all the scores too. No winners, but nothing to complain about!

Doesn't look like there will be a Brew Con again? -The website is gone and nothing posted since October.

I believe that is correct, for this year at least. It's part of the reason why the Malt Miller are partnering up with the Craft Beer Channel for Love & Beer festival in a few weeks.

 

[Deadhead]

Makes sense

 

[MartinHaworth]

Might be worth starting a thread for love brewing? I'm not going as I need to work, but there will be a Norwich team down there putting on a homebrew bar.

It is a shame, but I totally get why the organiser has stepped down, its a helluva event to organise and the competition didn't do it any favors.

I'm hoping that the TMM/CBC link up are the seeds to a new conference format and in the years ahead that can expand and hopefully host in a hall type venue so they can get a lot more exhibitors, and each exhibitor/stand has more space to work with and showcasing to delegates without constraints. Naturally wild card/hackney are built to brew, so space is a premium to try and host talks and exhibitors and rightly they want to sell their products as well during the day.

Love & Beer was run last year, and The Malt Miller was in attendance, it was a great event, meeting lots of folk who love great beer.

This year they're involved more in the organising and planning, reason for more involvement is its a lot of work for Jonny and Brad to do on their own, and of course being able to add more home brew to it is a good thing.

From my experience attending events which are focused on beer such as Love & Beer and GBBF you get to meet people who love beer and its an opportunity to let them know home brewing isn't as hard as many fear, and that the results are way better than they could expect, which in turn can only add to growing the home brew community.

Just a shame it's in London. Over £100 on a train plus similar on a bed for the night. Best save my pennies for 2025.

Bought some tickets to London on Tuesday the day they came out for the end of October and it was £24 on a split ticket there for the Saturday and £10 on a single for the Saturday, it’s not bad if you can book far enough in advance.
