Yeah exactly, fairly loose style categories for the first year, though may use guidelines to inform on defects etc. Will put some criteria together based on other UK cider comps when Susanna sends me some info



Thanks to everyone who has entered so far, remember you can message me for discount code

[steve lamond]

Just a reminder about this in case anyone else was thinking of entering. 10 Days until entry deadline!


Cheers

Please remember to pay for your entries by this Friday and more importantly get the cider to the competition venue by next Friday!

Cheers

Thank you to every one who entered, we had a very successful day. The winning amateur cider was Eoin Layton of Rebel County with Brendan Carroll running him a close second. None of the amateur entries won best in category nor progressed to best of show round - better luck next year!

We hope to give more advanced notice on date next year and would love more amateur producers to enter. Judges feedback was whilst none of the amateur ciders managed to best the commercial winners they were by no means the worst ciders sampled on the day. Pete Brown had his first ever cider that smelt of bins and that's currently on sale in this country!

If anyone has any questions or feedback, please feel free to email me cider@beoir.org or come to chat with me at Brewcon next weekend. Feeback sheets will be disributed over next week or so.

Cheers all!

Woot woot! Nice one 
That was made with the aple juice given as prizes in the 2014 National Brewing Championships, allowed to ferment wild for about a fortnight and then with champagne yeast, kegged and left to age until now.
Anyone remember who supplied that apple juice?

Nearly sure it was from Davy Uprichard, Tempted

Well done, Eoin

Davy's dry cider won Champion Cider of Ireland (and best dry) his sweet came second in non-dry and his elderflower won best fruited. He was justifiably proud last night!

[LordEoin]

What does he feed those apple trees? 

[LordEoin]

Nice prize, thank you 
Getting thirsty now!

Congrats again Eoin!

[LordEoin]

Yup. Only tired the Cloudwater vic secret sour IPA so far and it was great
