I am not so concerned that I did not get chosen to taste what is likely crap beer. I really want a chance at that shiny fermenter! 

I really would like to know if they select the "official tasters" based on some marketing target or if it is random? Anyone have inside info?

I'd wager that they'll target males.

I was amused by the fact that they sent out "Official Beer Tasting Equipment" labelled bottle openers, when the beers supplied had twist-top bottles-caps... Weird.

I just got a reject email...But, the offer of a free beer voucher which I declined by un-subscribing!!  Didn't really want to drink their cheapy beer,  was interested in the prize though.

 

Have ANY women been accepted or are they related to Alastair Thompson?

Don't worry Steph, I'm assuming I answered all their questions correctly thus they decided I would be able to tell their crappy beer was, well crappy! (Not sore at all about not being a chosen one.)

My partner was accepted, but as she'd already tried the beers with me, and REALLY didn't want to taste them again they were given away.  

I think they're being clever, it's totally random, but they audition far more people than are chosen so it goes "viral". Shame (but not really a surprise) that the beers were so bad after getting so much attention.

Is boundary rd brewery just Independent liquor trying to be like a craft brewery? correct me if i'm wrong (i often am)

boundary rd is the "back door" to independent liquor, i have done work across the road at a house movers site.

these are  the people who bought us such little jems as purple goanas, woodstock and who could forget; kiwi lager!

.......................opps gotta go I just did a little spew in my mouth and re-swallowed!
