I have an ESB I'd like some feedback on, so would like to enter it, but I have the following questions;

At the opening of the thread it says beers with above 6% ABV but mine is at the bottom end of the ESB scale. (I like a less "robust"bitter) it's sitting at 5% but this is still within 8C style as per guidelines.
I suspect this should be ok.

Also, Why do you choose a 600ml bottle when all the good imported ESB's come in 500ml bottles? Hence what I bottle in.
(I hate buying 750ml bottles of "session"beer just to get a comp bottle)

Will you require 2 x 500ml or will one be ok. (I'll surrender one more if required but thought I'd ask)

Good Day
Because we are the ESB club, ESB is always in the comp. So enter your ESB. It would be best to enter 2 x 500 ml entries given the rules have been set. Don't wont protests

[Mikedub]

Phew, got my entry in just yesterday, had to reassure my young ESB that he'll be OK, (he was worried he'd get bullied by those big RIS and Strong Scottish Ales he'll have share a crate with this week) :unsure:

 

[Barry]

We at the ESB Club take care of all beers but especially ESB's. So your young ESB will be AOK (I wiil keep him away from the RIS's, they hit the alcohol pretty hard).

 

[hewy]

I would like to apologies for the packaging of my entry in advance...

It was a last minute decision to enter - sorry for the shoddy packaging

Looking forward to some feedback though :icon_cheers:

Results attached.

Thanks to everyone who entered 98 entries in total. The weather held good for the judging with a good turnout of BJCP judges. Special thanks to Maurice as the Chief and only Steward and also to Richard for preparing the lunch which was excellent.

As you can see by the results it was a very close run competition congratulations to all.


Those who did not place will receive their score sheets in the post later this week. The winners will get theirs back once the certificates have been printed this will take at least a couple of weeks.


Please could I request that the first place getters provide me with their recipes and details of process for posting on the esbcomp web site

Once again thanks to all for participating

Cheers
