So which letter are people looking forward to? Think it's gotta be Q for me. Got a trip to Prague next week so I may find some interesting J, K & L beers there but I can't say I'm looking forward to them that much. It seems like all of the best beer producing countries are found are around the first part of the alphabet, 'cept Scotland that is.

Irish entry posted a few days back, glad it's over. Enjoyed it more than I though I would but not rushing out to buy more. It's a one pointer I think.

I'm looking forward to Japan and Scotand. Both make awesome beers. I can see many people dropping points in the coming rounds though. I have no idea what to do with Latvia and Korea!

I think Z will be good, I expect to see lots of English ales. However, if someone has it tied up by then (DJ?) then it may be a bit 'meh'. Hopefully a few people are still in the running at that point.

I myself am looking forward to Q as well, firstly to try something new and secondly to see what everyone else does

It will be interesting to see what country comes out on top of the popular list

Is that S for Scotland of U for UK

Oh and dry your eyes boo hoo I'm bound to drop points soon enough, just won't be next week that's for sure

I just sent an email to the Latvian consulate in Edinburgh, asking if they have any Latvian beer I could have.

Seriously.

Jokester · 25 Sep 2012 at 19:18

Countries starting with Y - Yemen.

Think we need a special week DJ!

Edit: Korea poses a problem, looking at wiki, there's only about 3 breweries.

Oh one last teaser pic of my Irish beer entry in 'now drinking'

PapaLazaru · 25 Sep 2012 at 19:45

Korean beer sucks big time. In both quality and sourcing it.

Comments include -

Korean beer is truly the worst beer in the world.

Korean beer is the worst in Asia.

Korean beer is one small step up from cold urine.

Korean beer IS proper tramp sweat.

That's the spirit mate

Oh and don't forget it's sometimes the one you least think of as being an Irish beer

DirtyJester · 25 Sep 2012 at 23:12

Oh and Repta don't forget to send an email to the competition address just to confirm who you are and to allow me to set up your folder, cheers

DirtyJester · 26 Sep 2012 at 13:35

Cheers mate, it's just so I can create a folder for all your entries to go straight into

EDIT: Cheers mate, sorted. Oh you might have received an 'away' reply, don't worry this was setup to try and let people know when/if their entries were received.

DirtyJester · 27 Sep 2012 at 12:15

Oooh Ahleckz ...

that was a cracking idea mate, you know the one you mentioned about emailing somewhere .... I've had a reply from mine

Important bit removed obviously

Glad it worked for you, I got contacts but nothing more.

Repta · 27 Sep 2012 at 14:20

Latvia and Korea are proving difficult! With luck there might be more choice in loughborough!
