<p>The next WBC style will be a Red IPA. Judging will take place on 28May at Hallertau. as always, judging will start at 3pm.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Specialty IPA: Red IPA Overall Impression: Hoppy, bitter, and moderately strong like an American IPA, but with some caramel, toffee, and/or dark fruit malt character. Retaining the dryish finish and lean body that makes IPAs so drinkable, a Red IPA is a little more flavorful and malty than an American IPA without being sweet or heavy.</p>

<p>Couple changes to the format we had been following: The clones were not very popular so we have gone back to a BJCP 2015 based competition. Keep in mind that with our competitions are every other month, and the selection is 4 months prior to judging, which means that we have time to brew lagers.</p>

<p>In Sept, Tom won the Tuatara Ardennes clone and chose "New World Pilsner" as the style. Unfortunately, BJCP doesn't have this as an option, so the closest we can get (per Tom's decision) is Czech Premium Pale Lager 3B: A Rich, characterful, pale Czech lager, with considerable malt and hop character and a long, rounded finish. Complex yet well-balanced and refreshing. The malt flavours are complex for a Pilsner-type beer, and the bitterness is strong but clean and without harshness, which gives a rounded impression that enhances drink-ability.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Have at it. </p>
<p>As usual, we will be at Hallertau from 2:30. Judging is to start at 3pm. Bring at least 500mL of your entry (plus and extra to share with everyone else). $10 entry. 3rd place chooses next style, 2nd place gets their entry fee back (unless they are not present), and 1st place gets the rest of the cash. If you win and you are not around, cash goes on the bar and we drink it.</p>

<p>Okay: Dunc, who won 3rd place in the Epic Pale Ale clone war, chose Newcastle Brown as the next clone. While I think this is an excellent beer - one I have wanted to try to brew, Dunc's research suggests the beer is actually a blend between two beers: an Old Ale and an Amber Ale.</p>
<p>With this in mind, I would like to know how many of you had planned on brewing this style or if you were agreeable to a change. </p>

<p>Again, time is tight, but you probably were planning on brewing this weekend anyway, right?</p>
<p>I have been promised awesome prizes </p>
<p></p>
<p>If you want to enter but can not attend on the day, let me know and I can let you know how to label your beers. Also let me know if you need to ship your entries.</p>
<p></p>

<p>This seems to be a trend for me with the late posts. But since no one is complaining loudly....</p>
<p>Our next competition is going to be an excellent one! I might even have an entry if it ever stops fermenting! This is the Double IPA or Imperial IPA. Since we use the BJCP guidelines, we will call it an Imperial. 14C described as follows:</p>

<p>Our next competition is going to be an excellent one! I might even have an entry if it ever stops fermenting! This is the Double IPA or Imperial IPA. Since we use the BJCP guidelines, we will call it an Imperial. 14C described as follows:</p>
<p>Overall Impression: An intensely hoppy, very strong pale ale <br/> without the big maltiness and/or deeper malt flavors of an <br/> American barleywine. Strongly hopped, but clean, lacking <br/> harshness, and a tribute to historical IPAs. Drinkability is an <br/> important characteristic; this should not be a heavy, sipping beer. <br/> It should also not have much residual sweetness or a heavy <br/> character grain profile.</p>
<p>Vital Statistics: OG: 1.070 – 1.090 <br/> IBUs: 60 – 120 FG: 1.010 – 1.020 <br/> SRM: 8 – 15 ABV: 7.5 – 10%</p>
<p></p>
<p>The date is currently set at Saturday 22Nov, 3PM at Hallertau. </p>
<p>As usual, let me know if you plan to enter. I need a volunteer steward too if you're interested.</p>

<p>Sorry for the late post on this. I am sure you were all smart enough to check the details of the last competition to find out the style.</p>

<p>So as the title says: the next style is a Robust Porter 12B in the BJCP style guidelines.</p>

<p>Basically a "stronger, hoppier and/or roastier version of a porter designed as either a historical throwback or an American interpretation of the style. Traditional versions will have a more subtle hop character (often English) while modern versions may be considerably more aggressive. Both types are equally valid.</p>
