And they have indeed arrived - along with lots of other beers judging by the photo! The local post man must have been getting a good workout this morning

Mines in that bundle as well!

What photo is this? I follow them on Facebook and Twitter but can’t see a photo of entries received.

It was the one I received from Royal Mail as proof of delivery. I can share here if you are hoping to see if yours was amongst the arrivals.

I didn’t have tracking on mine just 24hr parcelforce

I assume these were the majority of arrivals via Royal Mail this morning.

I'm helping unpack and set up tomorrow so will take a few photos (assuming that's ok with the organisers)

“Special delivery” = the right way up

Thanks for that - I can see mine in there (and the right way up too!)

Anyone planning on coming along for any part of the competition or the festival on Sunday?

I'd love to but it's the other half's birthday this weekend and sadly I don't think it's making her list of ways to celebrate!

Well there’s a beer for everyone at the festival…

Ha! Very true! To be fair, she doesn't have a bad day planned out instead. Trip to Birmingham to have pie at the Old Joint Stock and beers in the Wellington with the resident cats.

Top day out that, love their pies
Might be warm enough to sit up top in the Wellington too.
Could sneak in a cheeky cocktail at The Alchemist

 

[JockyBrewer]

Been a few years since I’ve been in the Wellington. Love it. Have a nice day!

Yes, hopefully will be there in the afternoon.

Bit of a journey for me from the Highlands, but sounds like it would be much fun drinking lots of home-brew!

Anyone know when we get our scores? I read something about Facebook but I’m not on that

Apparently they are aiming to announce results at about 5:15-5:30. Last year it was live streamed on Facebook so I'd assume the same this year.

From memory, last year scores were up the same evening and feedback sheets were up a day or two later.
