Those with no match I was going to give 1 point for, but I thought it more fair to give 2 points. 1 for a valid entry and 1 point for being the opposite end of the scale in the reverse round.

Will update the leaderboard before next week.

Also, anyone bickering or asking for more points will be docked by the time I update the leaderboard. How many they will be docked I leave up to fate...

U wot m8?

OK, so to respond to some points that have been raised.

Discover Britain's favourite lager, brilliantly refreshing and British.

Carling is marketed as a UK brand, was started by Englishmen using an English recipe, is brewed in the UK, is copyrighted in the UK, and the fact that the first commercial brewery was built in Canada nearly 200 years ago is neither here nor there.

R-evans is absolutely right that Fosters, marketed and sold as an Australian brand would not have been classed as an English beer. Much the same as Carlsberg.

Regarding points, I gave 2 because I saw that as fairer than giving 1. The absolute opposite of a 5 point entry in a standard round cannot earn 3 points in a reverse round If I was ever to change my mind on that, it would be to reduce the points awarded, as technically the beers entered that didn't have a match only truly qualify for 1 point, on the basis that they are a valid entry

Yorkshireman starts it, brewed in England using British ingredients to an English recipe marketed as British.

That there was a time during the history of the beer where it was based in Canada doesn't make it Canadian.

Ask 100 people on the street where Carling is from. Come back and report how many say that it's Canadian

I'm from Leeds too and there's nothing more English than Yorkshire Tea

 

[Gilly]

Yeah it is I wasn't sure I'd get this one done and there's at least one person away so it wouldn't be fair to have it this week.

 

[Gilly]

I don't mind it
