Anyone for another.... (BOTW mk2)

DirtyJester · 3 Feb 2013 at 12:26

Ok I know the first competition hasn't yet finished but I'm posting this thread to gauge interest in the next Beers of the World competition. I'm expecting a few regulars to signup again but also looking to see if any new people wish to take part

The only requirements are that your 18+ years of age as the purchase of alcohol will be necessary and you also have the ability to join in with the laughs along the way

No set start date or format yet but if you're interested this is your chance to get your name down.

If I can work out how to post photos (oh the shame of not having done so in years...) then I'd like to join.

Don't worry, all you have to do is take a picture and email it (competition email address will be supplied later) as an attachment

Everybody added so far, keep them coming

I'm in, as long as it is more accessible. I had great fun trying to source beers from stores (like Korea), but I buckled at one point and ordered online from where a lot of us did which kind of spoiled the fun and hurt my wallet too much. The amount of speculative countries beers I ordered was ridiculous.

You loved it you greedy piggie

List updated

I'd like to join, and hopefully i won't completely forget about it this time around!

We can but hope

Updated list

I'm out, not playing this time I'm on the wagon for the indefinite future.

Disappointed

but hope everything is ok? Also what happens if you win this Saturday, there is beer lined up as prizes?

J-FRO said:
I'm in on this round if you'll have me chaps.

Can somebody explain a little more of the format etc for me please? Also, for those worried about missing the thread, subscribe to it!

Good call on subscribing

Format still has to be decided ie. countries, beer types combo of both maybe etc etc but Ahleckz has pretty much nailed everything else. If in any doubt ask in main thread pinned at top of forum, oh nad have a read through page 1 of same thread

I'll find a home for any prize don't worry about that

I've spent the last 17 years drinking and completed Dryathlon last month, lost 7kg and felt great, had a drink on Saturday night and felt terrible, just rethinking my drinking habits this year.

I'll happily help out in any way.

Ok glad to hear everything is ok and prizes put back unopened...

Cheers for the offer too, depending on numbers this time round I might take you up on it!

List updated (first page) and keep them coming

What about percentages?

Start with something at 3.5% and then work up to some strong muthas?

For sure it may be added in for some rounds along with a few other ideas suggested

DirtyJester · 8 Feb 2013 at 14:55

~Divine~Wind~ said:
Sounds like a very expensive round unfortunatley
there some high 'teen % beers availabel but they aint the cheapest of bottles.

Think the highest % I did last round was about 10% ish and some of those were the best part of £4 a bottle

Couldn't agree more mate, and in some cases (no pun) the price is just ridiculous. Now having said that I still like the idea of including a percentage round or two, though doesn't mean they have to be high

DirtyJester · 8 Feb 2013 at 15:24

~Divine~Wind~ said:
Yeah could be a specific % e.g V = 5 x = 10

Those were some of the letters we had to be creative with last time too anyway werent they?

My thoughts are keep what we already have, as in countries (and some special rounds) but also incorporate the other ideas ie. Beer types with lager, stout, IPA etc etc and maybe even a cider round! Oh and yes % specific rounds.

Another thing that will change slightly is the points system.... at present I'd just like to add a 1 point for a valid beer entry, this would be added to whatever score the person achieved ie. the only beer entered = 3 plus 1 point for vaild entry = 4 points max. This means if someone ends up with 3rd most poular choice they still get a point for making the effort over someone that doesn't bother.

Once again NOTHING set in stone yet!

I'll have a go. Fun trying to find a new and interesting beers.

Will be good to know what the 'topic' is.

Updated the list and delighted to add another BOTW regular

As for topic.... more of the same with extras added

keep tuned

DirtyJester · 10 Feb 2013 at 12:24

Ok I've posted an idea (page 1 of this thread) for what the next competition will be about.... it's ONLY an idea at this stage and your input is most welcome...

DirtyJester · 10 Feb 2013 at 14:33

robfosters said:
Good idea, but just worried that the categories may be a bit too niche and everyone will end up with the same beer.

Oooh have you looked around yet

The choices out there are plentiful

Yes ok some selections may not have as much choice as others but compared to say Korea in the last competition it is nothing near as bad.

DirtyJester · 10 Feb 2013 at 15:08

bsoltan said:
That looks pretty good. I know previously there were votes week to week, but if you know what the category is what is the voting for?

Presently the only round that requires voting is M for Multiple (as in choice) which will be for whichever country you would like to play (highest vote is chosen). U.K. may be a voting round too.... still undecided.

If people want more voting then let me know and it will be looked at

possibly, im off to asia in july for 2-4 months so that could make the end challenging!

Beauty of this one is.... you know what is in front of you

Well for most of it

Deal or no deal?

yea why not im in

Good lad I'll get you added.

DirtyJester · 12 Feb 2013 at 22:22

Still open for anyone (18+) to join in.... time is ticking though

DirtyJester · 12 Feb 2013 at 22:33

Ahleckz said:
Get rid of A = Ale. Too vague, though unsure what could go in its place. Just seems odd to have Ale & then IPA, Blonde, Export, Red and so on which are all Ales also.

And, L = Lambic would be more interesting I reckon.

Would you rather have A - Alcohol free

If it has an Ale ONLY in the beer name then I'd deem that to be fine?
