Congratulations to club member Corey Fisher who took out today’s Crankshaft Clone Competition, hosted at the BentSpoke BrewPub in Braddon.

Corey’s was one of more than 20 entries judged by BentSpoke brewers and co-founders Richard Watkins and Tracy Margrain, along with National BJCP judge Charles Newton and Grand Master BJCP judge David Gilks.

Joining Corey on the beer podium were Rob Barnsley in 2nd place and Dave Cattle, 3rd.

Corey received a $500 cash prize and Rob takes home a case of Crankshaft (to compare with his excellent clone version).

The judges said picking the winner was a real challenge with the final decision coming down to the barest of margins.

Overall, the standard of entries was exceptional with the brewers showing that anyone can produce commercial quality beers at home.

Richard said it was humbling to have so many brewers try to replicate their iconic beer and great to have such high quality entries.

Thanks to all the Brewers who entered, and a huge thanks to the club’s biggest supporter, BentSpoke Brewing Co.

We’ll see you at the BrewPub 🍻
