Marzen-al Success

Last month my brewing partner and I entered three beers in the NSW Amateur Homebrewing Championships held at Potters Brewery in the Hunter Valley. Two of the beers were from the same mash but hopped slightly differently, they were the Marzen/Oktoberfest and a lighter Vienna Lager. We also entered our Foreign Export Style Stout which was a runner up in our club competition.

Our stout performed well, however was never in the reckoning. The Vienna Lager won its category with the Oktoberfest runner-up. All the category winners were judged together for the Best of Show in which it finished Runner-Up. We were so stoked to have done so well. Our homebrew club called funny enough ESB, was a clean sweep with Barry claiming Champion Brewer and Joe getting the BOS gong.

This weekend we have entered our Vienna and Marzen in the Australian Homebrewing Championships in Adelaide and we wait eagerly in anticipation. Go Whifinn Brewery!
