Simon Lambert & Sons Pub & Brewery-Stouts & Porters Comp. [Sept 27th]

[CARA]

Afternoon guys.
We are having a Stout & Mussel Festival from Thursday 24th to Sunday 27th September. The weekend will see around a dozen different stouts & porters pouring at both Lamberts & the Sky and the Ground on Wexfords South Main Street. Confirmed breweries include Simon Lambert & Sons, Cleverman, Jack Doyles & Arthurstown Brewery with hopefully another few to come.

During the weekends festivities we shall also be hosting our first homebrew competition, BJCP (2015) categories 9C (Baltic Porter), 13C (English Porter), 15B (Irish Stout), 15C (Irish Extra Stout), 16A-D (Sweet Stout, Oatmeal Stout, Tropical Stout, F.E.S), 20A-C (American Porter, American Stout, Imperial Stout) and Category 34-Speciality Beer (must be stout or porter based).
Entry is only 2.50 euro and limited to one entry per person per sub category.

This will be BJCP accredited.

I will also be starting a thread for people willing to judge. So far we have Will D & Ronan (Beerfly). If anyone would like to volunteer to steward or judge, a wee PM would be great.

Prizes!

We will be offering prizes for Best in Show, 1st, 2nd & 3rd.

3rd place - Voucher for a meal & drinks in Simon Lambert & Sons

2nd place - Voucher for a meal & drinks in Simon Lambert & Sons and a voucher for The Homebrew Company

Best in Show - Beer hamper, voucher for a meal & drinks in Simon Lamberts and a voucher for The Homebrew Company

1st place - Voucher for a meal & drinks in Simon Lambert & Sons and a voucher for The Homebrew Company AND you can come into our brewery and brew a commercial batch of your beer with our head brewer. The recipe will remain your property and will not be brewed by ourselves again. You will design your own badge for the taps and have bragging rights that your beer is on sale in Wexford! (If you are not comfortable with your beer being brewed commercially we can come to another prize arrangement.)

Entry is open from today with the deadline for entries being Thursday 24th September.

If its on the Sunday we're good, be nice to support Mr Cara and the work he has done for the NHC.
I will probably drive down and stay over if anybody from Dublin needs a lift?

Ah crap, didn't see the original post, so I'm well late to this party.
