A Melbourne Brewers Club spokesperson told The Warragul Citizen in an email today the group has high hopes for the competition.
“The Gippsland Cup is in its early stages, so the intake of beers we are getting is much smaller, but we are really hoping to grow this comp and get some local brewers involved in putting their beers forward,” the spokesperson said.
“It’s always great to see the creativity of what’s out there, and for the entrant it’s a helpful way to know whether your beer is a top drop.”
