Entries

5 beers form Guinness but only 1 repeat and it wasn't what I expected
@Feek decided to get involved for once and I suspect he was trying to reduce the points on offer by his entry and rather surprisingly, did very well out of it with his Jester.

Next round: J - Juice - A beer with fruit involved (3rd July)

Bonus Points - 1pt for Highest Untappd Rating (at least 100 check ins)

Mine. Not to my liking at all.

Here's my entry. It's the only beer in the house and it's been sitting on a shelf as an ornament like this for years. The date on the bottom of the can is 2004 :eek:

Almost forgot to enter this. Was sitting in the pub with it in a bag at my feet at half four and then remembered!

Yet to try it but had some of their stuff before and it’s good.

This was my entry for round I - again I have also yet to sample it and it could be a while as it's not really one I fancy tbh:

I know it’s irrelevant because I probably won’t score another point but shouldn’t I get an extra bonus for the highest number of checkins?

Damn you @touch !

Nobody entered Hop House either, I can't believe it.

This week was a mind ****. I thought i'd enter a Guinness to get the bonus point but then realised as the last minute that I'd likely lose the no-friends plus introducing risk of a duplicate. Got even more worried when Lysander said he's entering a Guinness as well! Here it is anyway

You did. You didn't get he friend bonus though as Guinness Draught is very popular.

Understood, thanks for the clarification.. I must admit I've not been paying too much attention to how the bonuses work

I did just make a post yesterday saying how easy it is this year to avoid duplicates. So, yep, that's entirely my fault for jinxing it

My boundary was also terrible.

Mine was fine, would drink it again if given but wouldn't buy it again.

Feels like a novelty posting a picture from a keg wall. Written on the back of the card receipt.

As mentioned in the other thread this was beyond awful.

Ahleckz · 30 Jun 2021 at 09:08

Opened it last night, colour was deep! It wasn’t bad, not that pineappley which I’m not sure is good or bad but could have done with a touch more.

Wouldn’t buy it again but I’d try some of their other beers.
