I only have 5 left to find. My plan was to get everything entered before May 1st but its not looking good. A-L are done though so I have plenty of time.
Beers of the World - Mk 5 *** RULES AND SIGNUP HERE ***
I figure by doing mine all in advance and having access to everyone's entries, it would be fairer.
Entering weekly is probably a better way to go in order to keep track and gives you a better chance for the bonus points.
My HonestBrew order arrived yesterday so I ticked off quite a few.
It seems that somewhere in my ordering, I forgot what I was doing and ordered some other beers that do not fit the categories

Either is fine.
Yep, as above. It's to avoid any confusion on my part especially if you enter the same beer for multiple weeks.
Subject line should make it obvious but its a just in case.

I'll include the link in each week's post, unless a mod wants to move it now on the off chance a few more people see it?
This should be good, still going with the gin?
People are free to post pics, review their beer etc... and even justify their terrible choices. Its all about enjoying it and maybe even learning or trying something different.
Including myself, I have 11 entries so far. @touch's went into spam but its been rescued.
Country rounds - Brewed and bottled/canned in that country. If anyone enters that Brewdog airplane beer, I would treat it as the flag of the plane (if they are like vessels then it could be anywhere, I got bored of Brewdogs marketing years ago)

Oh, if anyone changes their beer before the deadline, thats not a problem. I'll take your most recent entry as your submission.
I did.
It's just whether his friends have checked in with it or not... I think?! So doesn't matter if it's **** water. In fact the worse the beer the more likely a bonus point
Correct about the friend check-ins. I will say that the more common the beer/lager the less likely they are to have checked it in (at least thats my theory, I'm relying on my knowledge of my friends here)
A list of individual beers will be posted to save deciphering images. If its a one of these modern labels without much info, I might dock points for having to put effort in.
Just realised I’ve read the F category as 5% or over, need to resubmit.Not going to get many points for the 10% beer I’ve sent in
Its not the category I thought would catch anyone out but am happy that you now have to buy more beer
I'm going to make a post in La Cuisine for the 1st round and extend the deadline for newcomers/latecomers because I'm generous like that. I'm heading to the pub later so its not like it will make much difference.
I was going with tradition as I think they have always been in there. Happy for it to be moved if you think its more suitable in here
Results for Round A now up: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/forums/threads/beers-of-the-world-5-round-a.18927503/
I don't know any Belgian gins so no points for you this time. Not sure if I should allow Jinever (or whatever its called).
Ah. Never been to Netherlands but I did see a ton of it in Bruges when I was there a few years ago, various shops seemed to specialise in it. Quite enjoyed the free samples.
That was for the first round only, the usual time will be entries by midday Saturday.
The results thread will be made on a Sunday as sometimes I have other things going happening on Saturdays (like going to the pub)

Chocolate beer submitted. Annoyingly people have been rating it in the time since i bought it so it's now less good that it was
Rating it lower than it was?
Mine isn't very good but it needed drinking. I'm not going to be helping its current score.
I have it.
I had a great one at the pub last night, but because we are sat outside I can't get a pic of the label so I couldn't change my choice.
Indoor drinking from next week which should make things a little easier.

No foreign variations.
'Dark' can be anywhere but I need to see it so you might have to go to the effort of more than 1 pic.
Label is easiest though.

I'll add some Dunkels to my shopping list for the German round...
