elcome to the Official Guide to GABS 2014, now proudly part of Melbournes Good Beer Week.

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 beers. The events 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 were 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 Murphys Market Place showcases over 30 breweries and businesses with many hosting a fantastic schedule of mini-events. Weve 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.

W

The new VIP Food & Beer Experience on Friday evening is supported by Mildura Brewery and the 2 hat Stefanos Restaurant and will feature renowned guest brewers. Fun educational seminars are returning to Coopers Craft Beer College and weve 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.

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

Ross Kenrick from Brisbanes Bacchus Brewing returns to GABS this year with the added pressure of defending his title of Peoples Choice Best Festival Beer at GABS 2013. His White Chocolate and Raspberry Pilsner delighted taste buds throughout the Royal Exhibition Building and took out the title against tasty competition.

Bacchuss White Chocolate and Raspberry Pilsner is Rosss natural evolution of an existing brew. One of our most popular and unique beers is our White Chocolate Pilsner and my favourite ice cream is white chocolate and raspberry so when we were invited to enter GABS it was a natural choice for me to try and take our Pilsner to the next level.

As a craft beer drinker Ross is impressed at the array of beers on offer at GABS. Where else can you sample such a range of creativity over one weekend? The quality and diversity of flavours on offer is incredible. When youve been once you wont ever want to miss it again.

2014 will see Bacchus roll out another dessert inspired beer - Sex, Drugs & Rocky Road. Weve tried to put a Darrell Lea Rocky Road into a glass. The beer has a purple hue of Turkish Delight and is layered with flavours of chocolate, peanuts, marshmallow, cherries, Turkish Delight and hazelnut. It represents another unique beer on the long list of Bacchuss beers that even the most seasoned Untappd user would struggle to keep up with.

QUICK SPECTAPULAR TIPSEAT

This will not only replenish your system, it will help absorb the alcohol so you dont get too tipsy too quickly. No wants to witness a weak, depleted

an drunk beer drinker in action.

TOLERANCEGet to know your limits and dont exceed them. If you feel that moment of

absolute cheer, take a break, grab some water and eat some food.

LEARN SOMETHINGSometimes theres more to beer than just drinking it. Ask questions. Engage in discussion with mates and strangers. Read the tasting notes. Talk about what you do and dont like. Think about what youre drinking. Try new styles. Get educated. If all you end up with from gabs is

a hangover, youve truly missed out.

MODERATIONGABS is about appreciating the best beers on offer and not how much can be consumed. Drink for flavour, not just for impact. Anyone wishing

to treat this festival as a drinking game should have stayed at home.

TIME TO GOWhen a GABS staff member or some 7 foot security guy is kindly suggesting youve had your limit... Realise that its time to go home and

just leave. Any other course of action just gets sloppy.

OFFICIAL APPThe free Official GABS app (Android and iOS) provides a wealth of information

STAFF & VOLUNTEERSGABS Staff and Volunteers will be wearing GABS t-shirts and easy to identify.

Please respect them as many have given up their time to help you.

1. MILLING & MASHING

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.

3. FERMENTINGNow 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.

2. BOILINGA 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, its chilled on

the way to the fermenting vessels.

4. PACKAGINGBeers 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.

HOW TO TASTE BEERWhen tasting a beer, theres so much more than swilling it down, burping and saying its great or not for me. Even though tasting is very subjective, there are a few steps which, if followed, will allow you to get more out of your tasting experience. Heres how

Matilda Bay recommends you go about tasting beer:

LOOKTake 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

and consistency.

AGITATESwirl your beer gently in the glass to allow aromas and volatiles to loosen and escape

and also stimulate carbonation and test head retention.

SMELLAround 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?

TASTEMany 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

liquids 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.

WHAT IS BEER?The basic ingredients of beer are water, a fermentable sugar source (grains such as malted barley or wheat), hops and yeast. All beers can be broadly classified into 3 main categories:

Ales, Lagers and Hybrids.

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

to allow their full flavour and aroma to come out.

Lagers are brewed with bottom-fermenting yeast which ferments more slowly and at colder 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

Hybrid beers are those that dont fit neatly into either the Ale or Lager category.

HOW TO DESCRIBE BEERWhen describing beer, its helpful to think about the different ingredients that go into beer and what they might bring to the flavour. Here are some

useful beer tasting descriptors often associated with each ingredient:

MALTCOLOUR: pale, straw, golden, amber, caramel, deep red, brown, black

FLAVOUR: honey, bready, caramel, biscuity burnt toffee, coffee, chocolate, toasty, roasty

BODY: thin, medium, full, thick, chewy

HOPFLAVOUR & AROMA: pine needle, citrus, summer fruit, passion

fruit, gooseberry, peach, apricot, pineapple, resinous, woody, aromatic, bitter, delicate, floral, juicy, dry, flowery, grassy, green

YEASTFLAVOUR & AROMA: spicy, dry, sour, tart, earthy, barnyard, wet

hay, clovey, peppercorn, cinnamon, banana, orange, mandarin, bubblegum, vanilla, fruity, estery, phenolic

Coopers is Australias sole remaining family-owned brewery of stature, and although much has changed since brewing in wooden barrels in Thomas Coopers day, the family name remains synonymous with exceptional quality beers.

Travelling the planet, Kerrie & Johnny discovered a world of beers not available in Oz so they imported them. Theyve now grown to include iconic breweries and in 2014 they team up with Birra del Borgo to create Nomad Brewing in Sydney.

Wellingtonians love their craft beer like they love making flash movies. Beer appreciation is not so much a cult as a full blown religion in those parts, so go and see what all the fuss is about. Get to know 4 of Wellingtons finest.

James Squire lived life to the fullest in his journey from scoundrel to respectable pioneer. Adventure, excitement, danger, risk, reward, women and of course beer, were James constant companions. His story continues to inspire today.

Little Creatures introduced Australia to the hoppy US-style Pale Ale. They produce craft beers in Fremantle & Geelong that maintain a unique, individual style & culture. White Rabbit was born in Healesville to be different, creating ales with unique & complex characters.

Matilda Bay was established in 1984 in the Sail & Anchor Hotel in Fremantle but is now based in Port Melbourne. They produce some favourite specialty beers and ciders and have bagged a swag of trophies. The mission established at the Sail & Anchor lives on.

Malty, spicy, hoppy, full bodied with a deep red colour.

This is an excellent version of 8 Wireds Rastafari Stout refermented with Brettanomyces in Pinot Noir barrels. Roasty and chocolatey, fruity and funky.

You dont win friends with salad is a mantra 7 cent live by. So how do they get their greens? By putting it in beer of course! This beer is a funky farmhouse style Belgian Wit beer that has been loaded with mountains of spicy wild rocket grown in one of the brewers garden. Who said beer isnt good for you....

The reigning AIBA Australian Champion Breweries CUB (Large Brewery), Feral Brewing Company (Medium Brewery) and 2 Brothers Brewery (Small Brewery) collaborated on this unfiltered lager brewed with whole hop flowers from Victoria and single origin West Australian malt.

The brewers have taken Koji rice and, with classic Pilsner brewing techniques, produced this startlingly pale beer with distinct wine-like sake characters and a strong savoury undertone from the high levels of umami in the Koji rice. Made in collaboration with Go-Shu sake brewers based in Sydney.

A luxurious take on a traditional Porter using Fuggles hops, vanilla beans and roasted organic coconut. Expect a luscious deep brown colour with a rich tan head, a nose of roasted coconut and a silky smooth chocolaty vanilla finish. This is, quite simply, a tropical daydream.

An interesting, funky, spicy and refreshingly hoppy ale made with US and Kiwi hops and then grapefruit peel is added along with Belgian yeast. This is so crazy you may roll around on the floor laughing like a helicopter. Screw ROFL this is ROFLcopter!

Beware Black Eis. During brewing, water freezes, alcohol intensifies and the flavours are further concentrated. The result is a rich, deep and chewy malty beer with banana and vanilla characters and flavours of raisins and other dried fruits. Only available as a taster or half-fill of your festival glass.

A Strawberry sour beer dosed with kilos of fresh strawberries and Aeroplane Jelly to give it a defined strawberry character and fermented entirely with lactobacillus for the souring effect. Best paired with Thirsty Crows PB (beer #17) for a singular experience.

Crisp like a lager but hoppy like an India Pale Ale (IPA). Expect full on hoppiness with citrus, pine and spice with a clean malt and a hoppy finish. Simply awesome.

A mouthful of peanut butter on toast! Light amber in colour ,a hint of salt, 3 speciality malts and a shedload of peanut butter. This is best blended with Thirsty Crows &J (beer #18) for a unique peanut butter and jelly experience!

A deeper darker version of their Kolsch beer. A gentle caress of darker malts provide a deeper and bolder flavour which is balanced by a nice hit of hop bitterness and aroma.

Belgian Saison brewed using the classic Dupont yeast strain. Think spice, citrus, and high carbon-ation, with a beautifully dry cleansing finish.

Meat. Beer. Together at last. Pepper Steak Porter is the ultimate ode to meat lovers. Cherry wood smoked malt and black peppercorns blend together for an extreme beer experience that is 100% Vegan. Unleash the meat.

Brewed with silly amounts of malts that add righteous girth and a choc roasty intensity on the palette. Wailing noble hop varieties answer the Viking call with precision and balance. Fresh chilli adds a heroic solo and pulls it all together like a studded codpiece. Best enjoyed listening to pummelling metal.

These brewers soaked French oak chips in dark rum then cold conditioned this hoppy ale on the oak. The result imparts a marriage of biscuity malt, zesty hops and boozy and oaky notes.

Paying homage to its Irish roots, the deep red hue and creamy laced head gives rise to a strong roasted malty ale. Moderate bitterness and buttery/toffee characters are prominent with a clean & dry finish. Subtle aromas of caramel & butter are also evident.

American Stout meets Belgian fermentation! Enjoy roasted coffee and chocolate characters sprinkled with a healthy serving of hops and finished up with a Belgian yeast strain.

This Strong Ale from one of Australias leading breweries is made with 100% brettanomyces fermentation in used Chardonnay barrels. Make sure you try their previous GABS beers at the Feral stand as you wont be disappointed.

A Belgian-style lambic beer that is fermented using raspberries.

A rich, full-bodied Porter brewed with tarragon. The added herbs impart subtle flavours of aniseed, balsam and a hint of pepper. Medieval apothecary books suggest tarragon alleviates toothaches, cures insomnia and heals bites from rabid dogs and other wild beasts!

Brewed with Kombu (seaweed), Katsuobushi (fermented fish) and sea water. A rich hit of umami, the most enigmatic of flavours, does battle with bold bitter, sweet and savory characteristics to create a unique beer of monstrous complexity and depth.

Based on the highest quality bread you might have found around the Roman Forum, the brewers focused on wheat, rye, dried fig and fennel seed as the key ingredients for this massively hoppy and bitter Imperial IPA fit for an Emperor.

Traditional sour Berliner Weisse aged in Chardonnay barrels with red Sapphire plums.

A Red Ale brewed with Galaxy and Hallertau Hersbrucker hops to provide aromas of stone fruit and paw paw. Specialty malts balance this hop character by providing elements of biscuit and toffee.

The smell of tart citrus flowers and warm toasted cereal, biscuits and bread. Hops are both delicate and expressive, in the nose and the mouth. Caramel nuts, and a faint hint of smoke; sweet flavour lingers, like a big piece of toast.

A collaboration between Tokyo-born master cocktail alchemist Yoshi Kurasawa and TRB. Infused with Japanese botanicals, this combines European complexity and finesse with the four traditional Japanese flavour essentials of Konbu, Shiso, Yuzu and Ume.

Inspired by the apricot-based-sly-grog peddling delinquents of the early colony, this apricot-spiked brew will steal your wallet, leaving nothing behind but the tartness of wheat malt and slug of apricot flavour.

Lots of hops, Belgian yeast, open ferment, maybe some spices and plenty of malty goodness from this Healesville brewery.
