Results will be posted soon. Comp has probably just finished or might even still be going, results collated and checked before being posted while hardworking, voluntary staff need a chance to sit down, relax and have a beer. Look/ask again on Tuesday.

 

[GrumpyPaul]

As with most - cant wait to see the results.

But....

Hats off and cheers to all the folks who volunteered their time for the comp - hope youre all enjoying a beer

Aaron Petterson 1st in Farmhouse. Michael Bowron got something for dry stout. John Kingston 1 and 2 strong ale. 2 in specialty.
Grant Morley 1st pale lager. 1 and 3 pale ale. 3 farm.
Theses are the west gate results that I know of.
Well done to all

Gents, we're done!

**** ME, but that was a lot of hard work from the teams of judges & stewards over the two days! We got through over 300 beers yesterday & broke the back of it, so today was relatively cruisy (as much as it can be, when we still needed to get through over 150 beers, collate all the results, clean up, pack everything away & exit the building..)

Thanks to everyone that turned-up & contributed their time & effort. Without the team-effort of everyone involved, it just can't/won't/doesn't happen.

Edit: I got a 1st in Porter, with my ONLY entry after 10 years of NOT brewing nor entering anything in any competition. Words cannot begin to describe my elation. I just sat there & silently went "YES! YES! YES! After all that time, I've STILL got it"!!!!

Full results to follow....

 

[Black n Tan]

Very chuffed with my 3rd for champion brewer, among some great company. Thanks to all involved, it is much appreciated. :super:

 

[GalBrew]

Yes, a massive weekend indeed. Thanks to all the folks who gave up some/all of their weekend to help, especially the stewards.....backbone of the event!!

More news in......2nd place for Pale Lagers goes to....me!!

 

[MartinOC]

Congrat's Galbrew on your 2nd!

From what I "dealt-with" (it was a bit of a ****-around with the judges' inability to acknowledge diacetytl), you produced a great one...

 

[GalBrew]

Thanks Martin!

And congrats on your win, now that's an impressive comeback.

 

[MartinOC]

Thanks, I always knew I had it in me, it was just a matter of timing & why......

I got roped-into being a WortHog (again) about a week ago to add numbers to the Worthog's entries for the "Barney"

 

[GrumpyPaul]

any other results for the other categories?

 

[MartinOC]

All in good time.......
