Phew, dodged a potential clash with Ahleckz and tomoW1! How come tomoW1 doesn't have any points shown?

 

[Judgeneo]

Though one this week, kept on picking up beers that looked American, looking at the back and seeing made in, UK, New York, Wisconsin, Colorado, New England...

 

[Jokester]

Has the way the points are working been changed?

 

[Maccapacca]

Bit of a typo well spotted.

/ that was for TwsT and the points

 

[Jokester]

SN Pale Ales should have 2 points, 1 for valid entry, 1 for most popular entry.

I'm confused as hell, I'm going to suggest something in the other thread to clear it up then change whatever we decide here.

Took me about two seasons before I got my head round it!

 

[DirtyJester]

It's straight forward, has to be? I came up with it...

 

[pingwing]

Wooo!

shame that maple leaf drink was horrible, really sweet and bland (the Sierra Nevada's are much nicer)

 

[moody]

Thought Laf was a Scottish beer?

 

[Rich_L]

Ooh am I too late for this - So many choices

 

[DirtyJester]

Thought Laf was a Scottish beer?

California - also refers to the type/style of the beer.

That Hoptimum by Stoutmeister looks lovely.

 

[Ahleckz]

Sorry Sonea, but surely his entry isn't valid?

So is it "A - America (The United States of ) Any beer from.", or is it just beers from California?

Reads to me that it is beer from California. That is, brewed in California.

California brewed please.

Seems pretty clear it was a beer from a Californian brewery..


As for my beer, it had an award (as does bloody everything) but it wasn't great. Was pretty thin. Wouldn't buy it again!

 

[Martynt74]

I think I agree with Ahleckz I'm afraid, I think we said we were ok with beer brewed under license of a Californian brewery but that LAF beer just seems to be a California style beer brewed in the UK.

 

[DirtyJester]

Well the fun lasted long...

 

[Sonea Fifer]

Well the fun lasted long...

So we do what we've always done before - take a vote on whether my entry is valid or not and I'll go with the majority.

I'd have to agree.

 

[Executive Beef]

Happily surprised that I was the only one with the Anchor Steam beer, bit of a panic buy as I had to get something in before I went away.

Not really fussed, but if we're having a vote on whether Sonea's entry counts I'd have to agree with Ahleckz I'm afraid. Macca was pretty clear on California brewed.
