That’s a bit sad, a score over 40 is often in the placing. Saying that I had the same disappointment with my Imperial

Mini BoS was all.That’s a bit sad, a score over 40 is often in the placing. Saying that I had the same disappointment with my Imperial
That in itself is pretty good, and you know from the score it was a good beer - in fact “Excellent” in BJCP ratings.

Got that for later. Just rushed my roast so stuffed now
I got an HM for my American Light Lager. Pretty pleased with that!
Dunkel scored 38 and into mini BOS, which I'm happy with, although a bit disappointed to not get a 4th or HM with that score on a big table.
My Czech Pilsner has mini BOS ticked, what on earth does that mean

It means Mini Best Of Show. Once the whole table has been scored they whittle down the top 5/6 beers into (usually) 1st-3rd place.
OK… Cool so it’s not a bad beer, pleased with that as it’s my first attempt at the style and a SMASH beer at that.
Low 30’s for my anaemic Dunkel, would have got high 30’s if entered as a generic Amber according to the guys on the ground.
Top day out, and hats off to the LAB guys. And a Belfast boy won, congrats!!

Had a lovely day out in London with the LAB folks yesterday. Some impressive beers.
Things that interested me/my takeaways:
- over half the judges had travelled internationally to be there. I judged with FInnish and Italian judges - they were excellent.
- there were lots of NZ Pilsners - I've never made one!
- people are at their best when doing/talking about what they love - everyone was lovely
- Lucas ran a great comp
- James Wilson knows his stuff as head judge
- Ken is doing great work as the UK BJCP head honcho
- The bus from Norwich to Stratford at 6am was as quick as the train - and quicker when there are engineering works
- London is still a mad city
Cheers

Strange how they let the head judge enter the competition.
There’s no rule to say they can’t. The main rule for head judge is that they can only judge if they have no knowledge of the association between brewers and beers.
