The Great Australasian Beer SpecTAPular (GABS) was first held at our speciality beer venues, The Local Taphouses, in 2011 when we cheekily asked a few Australian breweries to brew something special and ended up with 20 amazing . The event’s great success encouraged us to create a major craft beer festival unlike any other.

Since 2012, GABS has been held at the magnificent Royal Exhibition Building as a 3-day celebration of craft beer with almost 23,000 people attending. This year we’re thrilled to feature over 250 beers from 150 of the best breweries from Australia and around the world. Almost 120 of these beers are brewed especially for the event. The Dan Murphy’s Market Place showcases over 30 breweries and businesses with many hosting a fantastic schedule of mini-events. We’ve also added a Cask Bar pouring local Real Ales from traditional hand pumps and there will be a carefully selected variety of food stalls selling everything from cheese, beer ice cream to American-style BBQ. The new VIP Food & Beer Experience on Friday evening is supported by Mildura Brewery and the 2 hat Stefano’s Restaurant and will feature renowned guest brewers. Fun educational seminars are returning to Coopers Craft Beer College and we’ve got a great line up of entertainment and games including Paddle Art. The Friday afternoon session is now called P.O.E.T.S Friday (Google it) and Silly Hat Sunday encourages you to join us in wearing fancy dress or a silly hat.

We’re very grateful for the support of our sponsors and the tireless efforts of our organising team and family of volunteers. With their help we’ve managed to shape a festival that some local and international brewers are now calling one of the best in the world.

Grain is crushed and mixed with hot water to make a porridge where starches are converted to sweet fermentable sugars that the yeast can ‘eat’ later in fermentation. The liquid is filtered to end up as a bright sweet liquid called wort.

2. BOILING A rolling boil is carried out to sterilise the wort. Hops are added to the kettle/copper for bitterness and flavour then sent to the whirlpool where aroma hops may be added and the wort spun to remove solid material (hop debris and other bits called trub). Finally, it’s chilled on the way to the fermenting vessels.

3. FERMENTING

Now we have a liquid that has a malt character balanced with bitterness. But a crucial element is still missing: Alcohol. Yeast, the agent of fermentation and producer of alcohol, is pitched and allowed to ferment. Yeast and trub are removed from Ales and then sent to bright beer tanks with fresh yeast and liquid sugar. Lagers are stored at -1C for numerous days, forced carbonated with CO2 awaiting packaging.

4. PACKAGING Beers are then either bottled, canned or kegged, checked for quality and released for sale.

Unlike most beers, Coopers Ales are packaged then stored for at least 10 days while a secondary fermentation occurs and the bulk of the carbonation takes place. They are then checked that they have come up to condition before being released.

canvenient mpbrew.com.au WHAT IS BEER? HOW TO TASTE BEER The basic ingredients of beer are water, a fermentable sugar source (grains such as malted When tasting a beer, there’s so much more than swilling it down, burping and saying barley or wheat), hops and yeast. All beers can be broadly classified into 3 main categories: “it’s great” or “not for me”. Even though tasting is very subjective, there are a few steps Ales, Lagers and Hybrids. which, if followed, will allow you to get more out of your tasting experience. Here’s how Matilda Bay recommends you go about tasting beer: The key distinction of Ales is that they are brewed using top-fermenting yeast, at warmer temperatures and with more rapid fermentation. They usually include more complex flavoured beers, are fruitier than lagers and include hoppy (bitter) beers and are best served less chilled LOOK to allow their full flavour and aroma to come out. Take a moment to look at your beer before you taste it. Raise the glass toward, but not directly at, the light as this can dilute its true colour. Consider its colour, clarity, head Lagers are brewed with bottom-fermenting yeast which ferments more slowly and at colder and consistency. temperatures. They usually include lighter tasting beers that tend to be more carbonated or crisp and are often smooth and mellow. They can also be hoppy and bitter but often tend to be more subtle and ‘clean’. Lagers are usually served more chilled than ales AGITATE Swirl your beer gently in the glass to allow aromas and ‘volatiles’ to loosen and escape Hybrid beers are those that don’t fit neatly into either the Ale or Lager category. and also stimulate carbonation and test head retention.

SMELL Around 75% of what you experience is through your sense of smell. Breathe through your nose only, then with your mouth open, then through your mouth only (nose and mouth are connected in the experience). Take in and enjoy its bouquet. What does the aroma remind you of?

TASTE Many beers benefit from being sampled at temperatures higher than commonly dispensed. We encourage you to warm the beer in your hands prior to tasting and note the difference. Now sip the beer. Resist swallowing immediately. Let it cover your whole palate and listen to your taste buds. Think about the mouthfeel, the consistency of the liquid’s body. Think about all the flavours in terms of sweetness, salt, tartness and general bitterness. Think about what they are, or what they are similar to. Why not have a go at describing each beer you taste? Here are some helpful descriptors below.

HOW TO DESCRIBE BEER HOP When describing beer, it’s helpful to think about the different ingredients FLAVOUR & AROMA: pine needle, citrus, summer fruit, passion that go into beer and what they might bring to the flavour. Here are some fruit, gooseberry, peach, apricot, pineapple, resinous, woody, useful beer tasting descriptors often associated with each ingredient: aromatic, bitter, delicate, floral, juicy, dry, flowery, grassy, green MALT YEAST COLOUR: pale, straw, golden, amber, caramel, deep red, brown, black FLAVOUR & AROMA: spicy, dry, sour, tart, earthy, barnyard, wet FLAVOUR: honey, bready, caramel, biscuity burnt toffee, hay, clovey, peppercorn, cinnamon, banana, orange, mandarin, coffee, chocolate, toasty, roasty bubblegum, vanilla, fruity, estery, phenolic BODY: thin, medium, full, thick, chewy 12 The Dan Murphy’s Market Place showcases over 30 breweries and businesses, with many hosting an incredible schedule of mini-events at their stands.
