Congratulations - I did see your name come up but didn't want to spoil the surprise!

Well done @Stu's Brews , @dave_77, @aolcot, @stripeyjoe (sorry if I missed anyone).

Sounded like an excellently organised event and a great day. Maybe next year. Jake was excellent value on the results stream

A clean sweep for my Extra Stout and Red in the Irish category.

Lovely day! Thanks to all. Entrants and judges and sponsors.

Well done all.. The live stream was brilliant, loved the announcements, a lot of fun to watch. Blown away with getting a gold with my first ever barleywine attempt. Many more will follow!...

If you want to see the carnage of the day, I've made an album which I will probably be adding to during the day:

I need to record that Ampersand Brew Co, our hosts, are the best people. As the live stream finished, Andy (owner), got out a selection of his best and rarest beers : 'Experiments in Evil: brandy barrel aged impy' and 'Barrel aged saison on Bacchus grape skins' - sharing them with all present to celebrate.

Well done @MartinHaworth and NAB for a really well organised and run competition.

It was a great day out.

We had a hard time sorting out 1st and 2nd on the table as one of us preferred the red and the other preferred the stout…

I've got a can of Experiments in Evil in the garage which has been there since I came home from last years comp!!!

Need to be in the right frame of mind to crack it open at 10.5%.

I do wish they would rebrew their Jamaican Gingerbread Stout, which I remember fondly from one of our other visits to Ampersand.

One of my favourite photos of the comp is this one of @stripeyjoe judging the irish styles.
