Entries

Not that interesting this week, the Untappd ratings suggest a lot of middle of the road beers with the exception of @weringo with his massive entry.
@Russinating takes the bonus pts for his terrible entry.

Its looking like @weringo has it in the bag but there is a twist in the final week's bonus pts.
Feel free to re-submit if you have already sent one in.

Last round next week!

Next round: Z - Zoological - Must have an animal on label or in the name (23rd Oct)

Bonus pts - 3 pts if your beer has a mythical creature in the image (Brewery logo's do not count)

Pretty standard best bitter. Not overly exciting.

I ended up with 2 for this. Bought my beer a few weeks ago and then found a Rivington Barleywine from 2019 at the back of a cupboard. That’s actually rated quite highly, however I poured most of it away.

Mine deserved its low rating which is a shame as I generally like the brewery. It lacked a lot of flavour you’d expect from a strong Belgian beer.

I don't even recall drinking mine so must have just been am average bitter!

My 0 point holiday round has come to bite me, don't think there is any catching Weringo!

Oops, sorry. Another fail from me. Took a photo of it and forgot to send the email!

It was a pretty boring entry anyway, I was targeting the lowest score:

Its actually rated higher than the Cruzcampo. 3.11 is the average.

Yep, it would also have been a bit of a failure even if I had actually remembered to enter it. :cry:

Interesting - When I bought my Z entry I was concerned the picture might be of a mythical creature and therefore not count.

I am still not sure!

Mine for this week below. Been waiting for ages to try a Bokke beer and it lived up to expectations

Martynt74 · 17 Oct 2021 at 22:23

Looks absolutely superb!

I know off topic but I picked up a 440ml Hazy IPA from beaver town earlier from Sainsbury’s which I think must be new. Was a cracking beer!

This was my entry for round Y:

It was nothing really to write home about - not one I'd buy again and not one I would recommend either.

Russinating · 18 Oct 2021 at 19:10

Boom! Was on holiday in Spain, so wasn't hard to find a low rated one... but this was the lowest. No problem at all when it's 26c on the beach...

I'm off to Belgium on Friday, will take a backup photo before I go but hoping I can find something proper random on draught.

Ahleckz · 19 Oct 2021 at 11:03

Im still pretty sick so haven’t been able to get to the shops so had to have a re-entry. Although, it’s a fresh picture as I’m yet to drink it. It really doesn’t appeal to me at all. And it cost a fortune.

Martynt74 · 19 Oct 2021 at 11:19

Here's mine. Would not recommend
