Beer Masters

[Tim & Kim]

Ever tried to impress your mates by your beer tasting skills in a
premier pub or at a CAMRA beer festival? Now is the chance for the
real buff or wannabe to put this to the ultimate test. 'Beer Masters'
is a real ale tasting knockout competition under the flag of CAMRA
Greater Manchester Region and hosted at CAMRA Oldham Beer Festival,
Queen Elizabeth Hall, Oldham on Sat 31 March, 12.30 for a 1pm start.
There'll be 3 knockout rounds where entrants will fill in a beer
tasting sheet to score on flavour, finish, body and aroma. Identify
the temperature, clarity, head, carbonation, mouth feel and beer
style. Then come up with your own tasting note giving colour, flavour,
aftertaste, and aroma; while commenting on character and/or whether
the beer is distinctive, including any negative flavours. Contestants
need to book in advance. Incentives in this prestige event is that
each who enter will get a FREE half of beer (in each round you get
through) in a clean glass, water
biscuits will be provided to clean the palate, a CAMRA plaque to the
winner with prizes. The object is to impress a panel of expert judges
on your beer tasting skills. On the panel will be brewers to include
from Bazens', Hyde's, & Marble breweries with a CAMRA Chair.
Contestants have to be prepared to drink most beer colours and styles
for a chance to get into the final round when each of the last four
will, in turn, be interviewed by the panel about the beer being
tasted. The one who impresses the most earns the title of CAMRA
Greater Manchester Region's 1st Beer Master 2007! Event will finish
around 3pm. Open to all who book. Contact: Dave Hallows (Event
