Competition Schedule 2025

No-one wants to judge American ales!

I nearly went for that but I thought lagers might be more fun

I can judge this month's American Pale Ales if there are no other takers.

Last time I judged that style group (September), there were only 5 entries from 3 brewers. Perhaps see how this month goes, but is it worth swapping out one of the other American months for a different style? A second British month?

I'm going to try to get involved in this through 2025, and as it happens I have an American Pale in the fermenter right now. Hopefully will get that into the first month's comp, but I'll have a read of the rules first!

I'm excited to enter some competitions this year and get some feedback. I just need to figure out a brewing schedule to match the categories!

That's just the way these have been going unfortunately, with one month recently having no entries..

Create a thread and hopefully people enter.

Id be happy to do the may pale ales judging again

 

[Leon103]

May and September are up for grabs

Thanks for the prompt

Yes, thanks for the reminder. I'd got it into my head that Feb was judged in March for some reason.

I'll start a thread.

It should be judged in late Feb or early March I think, whatever suits you, but there's usually a thread during the month to remind people to get their bottles ready for posting.

I think @Nicks90 has put his hand up for May.

If nobody else wants to do September and people are happy for me to judge again this year then I can do that month.

 

[Nicks90]

No, I can't do May's comp now, so that's up for grabs again.
Sorry all

@Chippy_Tea can you edit the 1st post and put Stu for September.
