On the Saturday 13th of April 2013 the Norther Craft Brewers & Saltaire Brewery will be holding a Competition and Meeting as we have done for the previous two years 2012/2011.
The Competition will be to brew your best American Pale Ale (http://www.bjcp.org/2008styles/style10.php) a bit of give or take on the style but American Hops are essential, NCB Prizes & Engraved Tankards will be given for First, Second & Third and no doubt a Honorable Mention or two, So get your Brewer/Brewster hat on and get mashing, its open to all who can get themselves & their beer here on the day, One entry per person.
Vital Statistics: OG: 1.045 â 1.060
IBUs: 30 â 45 FG: 1.010 â 1.015
SRM: 5 â 14 ABV: 4.5 â 6.2%
Now... seeing as you are coming to Saltaire Brewery and we have a couple of bars that will be needing stocking with beer... not any old beer mind... Homebrewed beer :) We'll asking a few of you to brew a beer to be served on Handpull (4.5g Pin or Bag in Box) and the proceeds will be split between the brewers chosen charities, last year we raised £400 I'm sure we can beat that!
We'll be giving the peoples choice Cask beer an Engraved Tankard too, the beer to brew for the bar is to be pretty open but it would be good to stick with the American theme and within 3.5 to 5% ABV.
Oh... did I mention we are working on giving you guys a talk on Hops too, thanks to Andrew Whalley of Charles Faram.
And....... we'll do some Brewery Tours, as if the beer wasn't enough to keep you busy!
Bring your homebrew, swapping and tasting is very much encouraged :)
If you need food, bring your own as its a 10 minute walk to the nearest eatery as is Shipley Train Station, here's the Google Map http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=saltair ... y&t=m&z=16 for the Brewery. Their is an Ibis Hotel 10mins walk away too and local Aagrah curry house not too far either :)
