Not a chance

He's on the home straight tonight

Great to judge this, I've had a lot of fun and have been really surprised by how good the vast majority of the beers have been. It's been difficult to judge some of them but hopefully you'll find my comments constructive!


Ok so we have a winner!

In 3rd place.......

@chrisb8 NEIPA and @stubrewworx Altbeir with 41 points!

 

[pilgrimhudd]

In 2nd place.....

we have @Tanglefoot American 'almost smash' Cascade Pale Ale with 42 points!

 

[pilgrimhudd]

In 1st place......

One that I wasn't overly looking forward too as i'm not keen on fruity beer...

it's @Mrhandsome Blueberry Milkshake IPA !!

Well done mate, it was a lovely beer, fruity, bitter with a wonderful 'mouthfeel' and very unexpected as I didn't think I would like this as much as I would.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Well done @Mrhandsome !

Great job mate!

 

[Broken Toe]

Congrats @Mrhandsome! How did you manage to get the good stuff out of the blueberries? I've gotten very frustrated with the little sods in the past, they've never played ball!

 

[samale]

Well done @Mrhandsome and everyone for entering

 

[pilgrimhudd]

Well done everyone, I would say that the majority were within 6-7 points of the winner, I may have scored too highly but i'd like to think that this is reflective of the quality of the beer on offer! Feedback will be out to you tonight I just have 3 more to write up. I shared some of these with friends, but although I took their comments and passed some on, I did the scoring and judging on all of them.

Drinking them was easy, keeping tabs on them was the difficult bit, especially after @Hopsteep 9.6% tripel!!
