[bullsneck]

Thank-you for the promptness of the results. Very much appreciated!


How's the head, Grainer? How many Specialties did you end up judging?

Looks like a big day for all.

ps - Bayside FTW!

43 Pale Ales.. sat and about 10 or so Specialties fri. (Not including mine)we swapped judges for that.. a judge failed to show i think so i was called in at the last minute.. was never meant to judge friday.. but it was fun.

Clubs need to start putting judges forward to help the fellow clubs out.. its a good experience and great to help out fellow brewers and learn a few things as well. .. like .. i dont want to judge 43 Pale Ales again LOL..

Writers cramp main issue on 43 pale ales

It seems with most comps on the forum that the winners and people who got on the podium don't really celebrate their winnings on the thread?

I would have thought the organisers and all the judges, stewards and volunteers would want to see some celebration, confirming the validity and success of the comp? ...it's all very polite and people keep quite a low profile - is this just our Australian way of keeping things in check?

I don't want to keep things in check, and erm, a bit like one judges comment on my "other" entry, it's "underwhelming"

...with a 3rd place - equal points to 2nd place and squeezing out Yob I feel like runnning naked through the countryside and telling everyone about it and posting about it here - no?

Consider your placing celebrated (in your own naked way). Well done though, there were some great beers in specialty-very hotly contested category.
As for celebrating we tend to do plenty at the event.

Cheers Mudd.
