NAROOMA BEER TASTING

Almost every year since the early 1990s a group of dedicated beer drinkers have incorporated into their Christmas holiday at Narooma (NSW, Australia) a beer tasting event.

The location of this event has remained a secret all these years, suffice to say that it is a most picturesque location as can be seen from the photos in this section.

Over those 30+ years we have tasted around 150 beers, with very few repeats. Beers from all over the world and variety. It’s been a major effort, but we have been up to the task.

The original group of five has expanded over the years (and decreased to some degree as well) but not incorporates the next generation. All were on hand this year.

The 2024 NOBTers, the full complement for the first time in some years. The next generation has now come on board.
