24.01.2022 Entries from all over QLD have been received and are awaiting judging this Saturday at Newstead Brewing Co.. A team of 5 spent Saturday morning chasing across Brisbane to collect, scan and sort the 400 entries from 130 brewers that were received. We have 40 judges, 10 stewards and a host of background staff to get your best brews analysed. ... Quality feedback is our goal for every single entered beer, mead and cider whether you place or not. This year we have the most ever BJCP qualified judges paired with a huge number of local industry professionals (head brewers & sensory trained staff). Every single person involved in the Queensland Amateur Brewing Championship is a volunteer wanting nothing more than to get brewers making better brews! If you didnt get a chance to put your name down to help and are keen please contact us as there may be a spot for you. As always thanks again to our massive list of sponsors: Newstead Brewing Co., Newera Brewing, Hoppy Days Brewing Supplies, National Home Brew, Inkbird Australia, Cryer Malt, CraftBrewer & The PubShop, ABs Honey, Brewers Choice, Wyeast Laboratories, Inc., Helios Brewing Company, QAAWBG

08.01.2022 Organising the QABC takes a lot of effort from a lot of people who volunteer their time, but most of all it takes a generous brewery like Newstead Brewing Co. to allow us to run the competition in their venue. 6 weeks to go brewers! We hope to see many of you down at Newstead for a beer after the comp. Support your local!

You will all be contacted soon regarding your eligibility to enter the AABC in Melbourne in October, so we can bring back the National trophy to Queensland!

04.01.2022 A Correction: An error was made in the calculation of Champion Club. Following a readjustment of scores and places after a split flight Best of Show round, we neglected to readjust the club points allocations. The title of Champion Club was incorrectly given to BABBs, when in fact it is actuallly GOLD Club. Congratulations GOLD Club - champions for 2018!... Commiserations to BABBs, and our sincerest aplologies for any premature celebrations you may have endured.
