25.01.2022 Looking forward to brewing a beer on site at Brisbanes Hilltop Hops Farm in a couple of weeks. Straight off the bine and into the kettle, fresh AF! Our first member event of the year will involve hop picking, brewing and sampling the beer we recently brewed on the new Grainfather G70.

23.01.2022 Thanks to everyone who managed to join in the Zoom meeting on Thursday. It's pretty tricky keeping things interesting when we can't be together sharing beer! This month we distributed the same set of 3 beers to our members, then did a run through of BJCP judging lead by our two BJCP certified members. 2 local Brisbane breweries, and one Bavarian classic. Great night if I do say so myself... See you all next month.

19.01.2022 Today the Brisbane Brewers Club lost one of our longest serving and most knowledgeable members, Earle Evans, at the age of 94. An incredibly generous man, dedicated to the art of brewing for longer than many of us have been alive, he was an incredible source of knowledge and friendship that will be missed by all. We thank Earle for his service to the club and dedication over the years. Information about Earles funeral service will be posted when available for those who wish to attend.

19.01.2022 Brilliant idea. Ballistic Beer and many others finding ways to adapt in this crazy time. Make sure you support your locals!

14.01.2022 Thanks to our very own Matt, who also happens to work at Green Beacon Brewing, for showing us the serious kit he gets to brew on these days. Matt also brought along a microscope so we could get a closer look at some yeast samples, and taught us about cell counts and yeast viability. Its great to have such a wealth of knowledge within the club!

14.01.2022 This shield has a pretty long history, so its a big moment for the BBC name to finally go on it! Thanks to the Gold Club for having us along on Friday and handing it over. Hopefully we can hang on to it next year

07.01.2022 Will you be entering the Grafton Brewing Competition in 2020? The Grafton Brewing Competition is coming up shortly, with entries closing on Friday 17...th April 2020 (or Thursday 9th April 2020 if using a drop off point outside of Grafton). This is a not for profit event. Entries are received from both experienced and newer amateur brewers, with entry fees being very affordable at $2 per entry. Attending and taking part in the event has become a yearly pilgrimage for some. Please Pass This Email On To Other Home Brewers You May Know! The event has been running in varying formats since 1867 and will again be a BJCP sanctioned event in 2020. Judging takes place on Saturday 25th April 2020, with judges feedback being sent out after the Grafton Show opens the following week. The judging panels consist of BJCP certified or provisional judges, experienced beer judges, and commercial brewers. If you are interested in being on the judging panel (or know of someone suitable) and are able to get to Grafton, please contact to discuss further. Those entrants wishing to attend on the judging day as spectators, please RSVP as soon as possible (numbers are limited). Website and facebook links below (The 2020 Programme + Entry Form will be available soon, AABC Guidelines can be downloaded from the website). Any questions, please dont hesitate to ask. It is hoped that drop off points will be setup around Australia (similar to previous years). For those outside of the area, this makes entering the competition very affordable.

Grafton also has a great beer and brewing heritage, and has a number of hotels with great atmosphere and beers on tap for those wishing to have a look around when the judging concludes.
