Welcome from the President Thank you for entering one of our ydney Royal Competitions and congratulations to those who were successful in winning a prestigious ydney Royal medal. I m delighted to see that the ydney Royal Competitions continue to attract a remarkably high standard of entries, not only from New outh Wales, but right across the country. Agricultural competitions are at the heart of the Royal Agricultural ociety of NW (RA) charter to encourage and reward excellence, and support a viable and prosperous future for our agricultural communities. To be the recipient of a ydney Royal award is a significant achievement representing months, years and sometimes decades of hard work and dedication. To help winning Exhibitors promote their success, the RA provides Champion, Trophy, Gold, ilver and ronze medal winners with ydney Royal artwork to use on product packaging, websites, signage and other marketing materials to promote their success. We review our Competitions every year to ensure they remain relevant to industry standards and up-to-date with changing trends. I hope as an Exhibitor you enjoyed the changes and new improvements we made in your area of Competition. Please do give us your feedback, as we are always looking to strengthen our links with agricultural industries. There are many people involved in making our Competitions the world-class events they are. Firstly I must thank our judges for their time, expertise and energy. Their impeccable ethics ensure only the best of the best are awarded. I also extend my gratitude to our generous Competition sponsors along with our Committees and supporters. On behalf of the RA, thank you for your support of our Competition program. Your participation plays an important role in assisting the RA to educate and increase awareness about the importance of our agricultural industries. I hope you enjoyed your ydney Royal experience and I encourage you to enter again next year. Robert Ryan OAM President, Royal Agricultural ociety of NW

Australia s beer quality on the rise aturday 24 eptember, 2016 The medals were being awarded as quickly as the beers were poured this week at the ydney Royal eer & Cider how, with judges observing that the quality of Australian brews was going from strength to strength. Hosted by the Royal Agricultural ociety of NW and celebrating its 10 year anniversary, this national competition saw a team of 26 judges and officials adjudicate their way through almost 200 of Australia s finest beers and ciders. ix overall winners were awarded Champion status, with ridge Road rewers claiming est in how eer, while Franklin Cider Company took home est in how Cider/Perry. Chair of Judges and Director of The Institute of eer, Neal Cameron, said he was very impressed with the overall quality of the exhibits judged. The options of beer and cider available to the everyday consumer have increased dramatically, however now we re also seeing the quality increase across the board. It s a good time to be a beer or cider drinker in Australia, he said. Each judge is an expert, earnt from years of professional experience, and although we didn t see a rise in the number of Gold medals awarded this year, there were an enormous amount of ilvers and ronzes, which shows the overall quality continues to improve. At ydney Royal, the judges don t only taste and rate each product but they provide individual feedback to every exhibitor. It s great to see the support and dedication to the industry shown by our judges is helping large and small breweries improve and grow, said Mr Cameron. Craft beer producer ridge Road rewers of eechworth, Victoria collected both Champion ottled eer and est in how eer for its flavorsome Robust Porter. Redoak of ydney also impressed, taking home est NW eer and Champion Draught eer for its Redoak Aussie Lager.

We believe that craft beers deserve crafted glasses. These are our CRAFT EER glasses. The piegelau Craft eer Glasses have been approved by an expert tasting panel of master brewers and industry professionals. Focusing on beer enjoyment, members of the tasting workshop tested multiple glass shapes to find the best glass for India Pale Ale, tout, and American Wheat eer. In the experts opinion, the custom-shaped glasses successfully deliver the complexity of aromas on the nose, while demonstrating the optimum beer texture, balance, and flavour intensity on the palate. taying faithful to the spirit of avarian artisan craftsmanship, we have created these unique, functional glasses to bring out the best in complex craft beers. The eer Classics are available at David Jones, Myer and selected homewares stores or online at www.spiegelau.com.au
