Pindimar Brewing Competition returns to the markets

BREWERS across the Myall Coast are concocting some special fermentations in prelude to the Home Brew Competition at the Pindimar Markets on Saturday 25 October.

Contenders will face hardened scrutineers, made up mainly of the attending public, who will judge their work based on head, colour, clarity, and taste.

Glen and Kerrie Croaker co-ordinate the Home Brew Competition on behalf of the Pindimar Bundabah Community Association (PBCA).

“With so many new people moving into the area, we would love to see new brews at the competition,” Kerrie told News Of The Area.

“The winner [of the People’s Choice award] has their name engraved on our Perpetual Trophy and Engraved Beer Tankard.”

Home Brew Prizes are also sponsored by Newcastle Brew Shop, including vouchers for first, second and third prize.

“Our home brew competition is different to most, as the judges are the public, who get to make a donation and sample the home brews, while the home-brewers get to enjoy this unique experience.

“They can pour their tastings for the judges, share their knowledge, and have a yarn with other brewers.”
