Anyway good luck everyone.

I’m heartened by how much people have embraced this comp and I cannot wait to test out your beers [emoji4]

Have you got some help drinking these Hoddy? That's a pretty big session if your doing them all tonight. Hic!

 

[Hoddy]

Four deep so far. Yes I’ve got a really good buddy helping me. Proving to be a tricky judging process.

Pre wrote it

 

[Hoddy]

We finished all of the beers, and did the final tot up of the points, and finished the write up of the top three by about 1.30-2am.

Needless to say there was only 1.5 points between 1st and 3rd place. And only 4 points between 5th and first. It was a very close race with absolutely outstanding beers in there.

Didn’t manage to do the judging from the brew shed as I still haven’t got round to getting the power connected.

I am going to see how I could do the results from there tho if I can.

After my hangover has worn off......

Such a great mix of beers to grace any ones fridge there! A nice night in I bet..

 

[Leon103]

Waiting patiently

 

[Hoddy]

So here are the results!!!!

I can say the judging was really tough as there was some outstanding beers in there. Which made it tough if your beer wasnt stand out. Hopefully the feedback i have sent everyone is detailed enough. If anyone does want any more feedback then just give me a shout.

My congratulations to @JCEG316 as he produced and submitted some seriously good beers. I never would have thought a 8% dopplebock could taste so good. And as you can see there was a small margin in those top 5 beers.

Conversely i don't think we have ever seen anyone come at the top of the table and the bottom in two submissions :O) @Leon103

Well done all, great comp and build up this one. Credit to @Hoddy :thumb:
Really need to pull my finger out if I'm to get anywhere near the top of the leader board at the moment.
I don't think a week old stout ever really stood a chance though

 

[IainM]

[Ajhutch]

Congrats to all. And thanks to @hoddy for judging so many beers and providing really good feedback.
