BABBs August: Specialty Beers

BABBs meetings are held on the fourth Thursday of every month (except December) at Coorparoo School of Arts Hall, 210 Cavendish Rd, Coorparoo QLD 4151. Each one has a different focus, but all involve talking about the making of beer in a relaxed atmosphere. Arrive at 7pm, for a 7:30pm start to the meeting.

Guests are always welcome, total beginners or seasoned brewers alike! Come along and see what it’s all about. We ask that you contribute $5 toward snacks and room hire.

THIS MONTH’S MEETING is our FIRST EVER Specialty Beers mini-competition. Join us as we judge the beers together in a relaxed setting with guidance from our own BJCP certified judges. If you would like to enter, bring along a bottle of your home brewed beer for anonymous constructive feedback. See categories below.
