Do you love beer so much it drives your partner crazy? Want to be on a new Channel 7 TV Show? 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am from a television company called Southern Star and we're currently casting fun, happily married couples for a new entertainment show on Channel 7. 

I'm on the search for a couple in which one half has a passion or hobby that the other partner does not share the same enthusiasm for!  I am currently trying to find a couple in which one absolutely loves home brewing or all things to do with beer but their partner is not so enthusiastic!  I imagine you come across all sorts of home brewers and wondered if you might know of a couple somewhere in Australia that fit this description?!

The filming would take approximately 1 or 2 days at the couples house (if that suits them) and one of the couple will win a prize!  It's a great fun show.

Please do get in touch ASAP if you, or anyone you know might be interested - This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and 0292028984

Beer & Brewer Expo to Hit Melbourne in May
Early Bird Discount Tickets On Sale - Grand Prize Up for Grabs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A mass celebration of all things beer is set for Melbourne when the Beer & Brewer Expo returns bigger and better in May. After a the inaugural expo in 2009, the annual event will be held in new digs at Federation Square from Thursday, May 20 to Saturday, May 22, with the continued support of major sponsor, Dan Murphy's. Coinciding with the Australian International Beer Awards (AIBA) - the second-largest of their kind in the world - the expo will again unite the global brewing community with beer-lovers keen to learn more about the art of beer production and meet the people behind it.

With a strong emphasis on education, the expo is tapping into the growing demand for better beer knowledge while introducing many unique brews now available. Presentations from international experts will be held on a wide range of topics, including home brewing, beer and food matching, tasting master classes and more, costing just $5 on the day to attend. Guest speakers include the US's Jamil Zainasheff, Roger Protz from the UK and Australia's own 'Fast Ed' Halmagyi.

From ales to bocks, porters to stouts, wheat beers and everything beyond, expo visitors will have the chance to sample unique brews from around the world. The brewers themselves will be manning the stands to tackle the big questions face-to-face, leaving visitors with a solid understanding of the increasing diversity and complexity of beers, particularly those now being produced in Australia. A strong focus on RSA will be retained throughout the expo, with 50ml and 100ml beer samples and tastings offered, along with food and public transport options for the CBD location.

Entry tickets are now on sale and will also be available at the door, but everyone who takes advantage of the 15 per cent Early Bird Discount before May 6 will go into the draw to win the sought-after grand prize. The winner will receive a tour of the Matilda Bay Garage Brewery with nine of their mates, complete with a tasting, lunch and transport to and from the Dandenong site. The party of 10 will then move on to Cocoon Bar in the city for a beer and pizza package, before the winner retires to their free night's accommodation at the Mercure Welcome Melbourne. Other prizes will also be up for grabs at the expo, from BREW Cellar home brew kits to lucky door prizes such as a Coopers Vintage Ale Signed Magnum by Tim and Glenn Cooper, cases of Coopers 62 and Chang and other goodies designed to keep beer-lovers happy.

Beer & Brewer Expo 2010 sponsors include Dan Murphy's, tying into their focus on making available more local and international boutique beers through their 100-plus outlets nationwide, as well as BREW Cellar, Chang and Coopers. Discounted accommodation is also available over the expo dates through official partners The Swanston Hotel Grand Mercure and Mercure Welcome Melbourne.
