hi all

is this going to be run again, i'd potentially run it if its easy to do. i found it easy to do most of the entries at once, less chance of forgetting weeks like the last time i entered it.

would anyone be interested in the new year?

sounds like a few would be keen, i'm thinking in the new year running it, maybe feb. happy to do it and keep a thread alive.

it might be easier if we do it in two halves. everyone submits say 13 at once then 13 wks later another batch. it might be easier then. i wouldn't neccesarily need to post pictures, but if we could upload directly into a post it would be great. i think photobucket charges now

I’d be up for this again, count me in!


I wonder if making the categories a little broader would fix this? A - American, B - Bitter, C - Chocolate etc...Seem to recall last time round the categories were pretty unusual or else very specific. Made it great fun trying to find something, but it usually meant you had a full points winner or nothing at all. More entries per round means more duplicates?

Dunno, after writing that I’m now not sure if it makes sense or not.

i would want to be a bit more specific. i like the idea of c = chocolate but i'd make it chocolate stout for example, to narrow it down and make it a little harder.

Kinob: you could do batches or individual. i just did most all at once due to work and my memory to be honest. then the more bespoke rounds i used to make the special trips or searches, usually for a christmas themed beer or easter themed etc etc.

i think i will put up 3 suggestions and everyone that enters can vote, majority rules. i want it to be a simple as possible too. if more than one person has the same beer for example, no one gets any points :)

that said, if it's true beer of the world, a-z would be countries and only something different if there wasn't a country with a particular letter. like it was in the old days.
