Northern & Midland Craft Brewers are having a Competition & Meeting at the Saltaire Brewery, Shipley, Saturday March 31st 2012 - My Blog post on it **************************/2012/02/03/t ... 1st-march/
This year we are running an English IPA competition, to be judged by Derek (The Brewery Manager of Saltaire Brewery), Zak Avery (Beer Blogger & of BeerRitz in Leeds) Rob Derbyshire (Blogger of Hopzine.com), among others.
Sadly Tony, the owner & Head Brewer of Saltaire, wonât be with us as he has family arrangements he cannot break, if anyone wants to leave him a bottle or two Iâm sure heâd be very pleased.
We invited the Midlands Craft Brewers, to make things a little different as last year it was just the NCB, so this will be a bit of an Inter region competition, as well as a good meeting, get brewing your best English IPA recipe, this promises to be a great meeting and competition, not to mention we are hoping to see lots of Leeds Homebrewers too.
One entry per person only & entry is 2 pint/500ml brown (Magners style) Bottles, with Gold crown corks, (entries to be brought on the day).
Prizes will be awarded as usual, & the brewery will have 8 beers on Tap and guess what⦠all 8 beers are being brewed especially for the occasion, Saltaireâs IPA will fill one Tap and the other 7 Taps are being brewed by a few local Homebrewers, the beers will all be IPAâs so make sure you bring a fresh pallet as we hope to ravage yours.
We are running this as a charitable event so other than the Saltaire IPA the other homebrewed beers will be for a donation, weâd hope donations will be as last year with people giving the usual Saltaire price of £2 a pint.
We are expecting a large amount of entries for this competition, therefore to enter, please
Email: [email protected]
Closing Date for entries is Friday 16th March 2012
2 Bottle labels and entry number will be posted out to each entrant.
£3.00 Competition entry on the Day.
English IPA, any English hops, 1050-1070 (Please see this PDF of Hops allowed, no american C hops or NZ varieties please this is an English IPA Competition), any Malts allowed and your choice of Yeast.
The Original announcement: http://www.northerncraftbrewers.co.uk/futureevents.html
Other stuff to note, weâll be meeting at 12 noon for a 1pm start, doors will be open earlier but weâll be setting up so if youâre early take a seat and chill while weâre ready.
Bring food if you need it as there is nothing closer than a 10 minute walk, the ground floor has level access.
And of course, beer swapping, tasting of homebrew is very much encouraged⦠weâre on for a fantastic day! :)
I shall update this post if any other details crop up, Turn your brewing dial to âElevenâ and get that Copper boiling!
