OcUK Beers of the World Weekly Results - Denmark

[DirtyJester]

OMG has this made the news yet?!

 

[DirtyJester]

I have to say i'm looking forward to all the beers that get put forward for England next week, I promise I'll get it entered much earlier this time though Jester!

Have to admit you left me worried, when the reg's falter then the rest stumble...

 

[DirtyJester]

Cheers Jokester for clearing that up mate. I've updated the first page and the points, you and macca both receive 3 points

 

[DirtyJester]

Sorry I call shannaigans! twice Hank_marvin has put an entry in with no OCUK in the picture at all. Should he not be knocked a few points?

I actually missed that but then we are so used to Hanks photgraphic genius that it's hard not to know it's him... I mean her no no I mean him

 

[DirtyJester]

I'm still annoyed.

What about?

 

[DirtyJester]

You only dropped 1 point... oh the shame

 

[DirtyJester]

I'm still annoyed.

 

[DirtyJester]

Next week is ....

England

 

[DirtyJester]

ooooo well that shall make for nice varied pickings then.


Now opened a bottle of raspberry homebrew.

Yeah should really be a three pointer for everyone

 

[DirtyJester]

I'm guarantee there'll be at least 4 getting 2 points. I WON'T BE ONE OF THEM!!!

Good to see you're over your points loss...

 

[DirtyJester]

I don't think I'll ever get over that.

Oh dry your eyes boo hoo

OK, having minor twinges of guilt about my entry, not merely because I'm in Cyprus and I had to drink weakurinesauce Carlsberg instead of nice hoppy KEO, but also because I'm wondering whether my entry is valid at all: I was under the impression that the Carlsberg we brew here is brewed by Carlsberg, or at least by a subsidiary part-owned by Carlsberg. Turns out it's brewed by a Cypriot company who just licences the Carlsberg name (and presumably recipe, I mean it tastes just as horrible in the UK). Is it still valid? Didn't mean to deceive, I normally drink KEO here so I just don't know.

I had vague thoughts of keeping mum about this but, well, the 1 point I got from it isn't enough to justify living with the guilt! If I'd gotten 3 points for it I'd totally rub my hands together in evil glee and chuckle with joy at deceiving you all!

Oh, incidentally, another question occurs to me: the brewerie that makes Carlsberg over here also makes another beer called Leon - I presume, since it's a Cypriot brewery and a Cypriot brand, that it wouldn't be a valid entry for this competition, but here's a theoretical question: if the brewerie WERE part-owned by Carlsberg, like I thought, would Leon have counted?

This has been explained quite a few times now, but I'm sure one more time won't hurt.

The Carlsberg you entered for your Denmark entry is valid regardless of where it is brewed. Carlsberg is listed as a Danish beer and once again is therefore valid. The KEO and Leon you mention would have been valid as entries for Cyprus, but this wasn't voted for.

 

[DirtyJester]

Can you explain it once more please DJ?

Not a chance...

 

[DirtyJester]

The rule of thumb we are using is where it's commonly thought to be from, not the parent company or who owns the brewery. Hence, if you got a Guinness brewed in Russia it wouldn't be a Russian entry but an Irish one because that's it's real home. You can take the beer out the country, but you can't take the country out the beer I guess.

In a nutshell

 

[DirtyJester]

Well I can see the point to that, Cypriot Carlsberg tasted just as bad as anywhere else

...some might say, probably
