Tempted. I have only ever made a Belgian Wit beer, so this might push me to try something new.

 

[samale]

I am going to give this a go

 

[Stu's Brews]

I've registered an entry - need to figure out what I'm going to brew for it though.

 

[Agentgonzo]

Hmmm... I was thinking of brewing a trippel and another dark abbey beer later this year anyway. Ideally during the summer. If it's good enough, I might keep an eye on this comp.

 

[samale]

Is it limited to one entry

 

[YeastFace]

Yep 1 entry limit currently.

 

[Nottsbeer]

Ohh, I'm tempted. Will have to make another brew of my Trappist style. And find some Candi syrup For my small scale set up I'm suddenly having a few brews to make and maybe not enough time/space.

Ha! you beat me to it! Had to get home from work before I could do the full launch post. Please do register, enter, judge etc.

Could a helpful admin @Chippy_Tea fix the spelling mistake in the thread title please. TIA

 

[YeastFace]

Have fixed (blame typing with my thumbs).

 

[MartinHaworth]

Not sure whether to include Belgian IPAs in the comp. What are the thoughts here on THBF?

<simple enough to add the category + entrants can change/edit their entries>

Hmm... Was it included in last year's Hoptober competition?

If so, then I'd say it's had it's chance and this year is an opportunity for people to have a try at something different.

 

[samale]

I am paid up,I will make a call closer the time on what to enter. I have a tripel already in the bottles, biere de garde fermenting. Plus I will be brewing a few Saison's between now and October.

 

[MartinHaworth]

Good man! Sounds like you are spoilt for choice! @samale

@Stu's Brews yeah, we did belgian ipas last year, fair point.

Thanks

Can I suggest that everyone's first step is to drink lots and lots of amazing Belgian beer!
