Ok this week we arrive in France and to be fair the turn out wasn't great, a bit like the beer selection ;) Though I must admit I am very surprised at there only being one matching pair! Also this week we have once again had some rule breakers... ie. no OcUK showing either in the form of the forums or even written on a piece of paper, I have therefore decided this will be the last week anything slides through. No OcUK showing as mentioned and points will drop, it's only fair on others who make the effort week in and week out, so everyone consider themselves informed :) Right now the fun part, the results....

Thanks again for your patience with the weekly results delay and I'm afraid the same will apply next week too.

Next week is Germany

I thought me and Kanifee would end up with the same choice, there were two obscure French beers at our shop so there was a fifty percent chance.

Oh well thats how it goes sometimes mate. I actually picked up a bottle of Desperados (still have it in fridge) but decided against it as I thought I stood a better chance with the Co-Op special beer :) I honestly thought loads of people would have played Desperados!

Haha what a brilliant week :D

Got all worried about it as all I could find was Saint-Omer, Kronenbourg 1664 and Desperados all which taste terrible!

aceface where did you find Pelforth?? Been looking for that a little as the lighter version is pretty (the malty one is very heavy though).

My choice well was a nice flavour and the right sort of lager, just pretty strong :p

I am a bit ashamed to have entered Desperados, but glad it is a three pointer.

Hardest week by far but yet again, the most obvious of obvious choices (1664) gets three points again.

Re the rule thing, can I just write OcUK on my piece of card? I am getting quite attached to it and want to keep it till the end.

Well I don't know what Belmit's was like, but mine was ****.

Haha! Close call on the Brune/Blond. Suspected someone might have exactly the same as me again this week. As with a lot of the European beers I've entered in this competition mine was tasty but had a sort of sweet, syrupy taste to it I'm not fond of. I'd drink the Brune again but not my first choice.
