By Chris De La Rue, Competition Secretary
Club completion #2 was judged on Sunday 17 June 2012 at Billy’s house in Hughes, and 36 entries were received by the closing date/time (split over three flights)
- Flight #1 Low Alcohol, Strong Lager >6% and Stouts

Like all club completions expectations were high for quality of the beers hit the judge’s palates, and while there were a couple of categories that did not have entries, we however have a very good mix of beers to judge, and I am very pleased to announce that seven gold, eleven silver and nine bronze medals were awarded on the day.
The top beers were:
Bruce McIntosh Belgian Golden Strong Ale 126 Points (Gold)
Martin Buggen Munich Dunkel 126 Points (Gold)
Craig Stokes Australian Pale Ale 120 Points (Gold)
Peter Collins English Pale Ale 120 Points (Gold)
Bruce Arnold Doppelbock 119 Points (Gold)
I am also please to say that we had a full contingent of judges (9) and stewards (3) for the comp, and I thank those members for offering up their help in a timely manner, as it makes my job much easier.
Stewards were: Charles N, Partick B and Kevin H
The next club comp will be held on Saturday 25 August 2012 (Location TBA)
Entries close noon Sunday 19 August 2012.
Candidate Flights: (subject to change depending on the number of entries)
