Hop Idol Judging

It’s the climax of our annual homebrewing contest - when judges from various local breweries sit around and sample the best beers made by local amateurs. Last year’s overall winner, Craig Sallabank, has since gone from being a home-brewer to becoming head brewer at Magpie Brewery. We’ll be delighted to see what this year’s intake has in store for us. This is a behindclosed-doors event, but winners will be announced on social media shortly afterwards.
