Smithwicks Summer Ale Comp

[Donny]

Can we physically drop off the bottles at the address in Dublin???

Yes, I did so today. There is a little desk immediately on the left when you go in the door.

[Dr Brown Ale]

I went in today and asked about Storage, a girl told me the beers were being stored in a fridge on that premises, being transported in a refridgerated van to be stored in a fridge "somewhere in Diageo".

[Saruman (Reuben Gray)]

I'm dropping mine in tomorrow.

[Donny]

Did many of us enter?

[SprocketFuel]

More than will admit I'd say.

I did for he laugh, had the last two of my bottles for it the other night, lost a lot of the aroma from when i tasted it at entry dead line 

[tommy]

How many Wit beers entered!

Tis a terrible tragedy altogether. 


They emailed me this morning at 8am . Assuming none of the other NHC lads have had a chance to read it yet. They've concluded a final winner, basically they wanted to ensure from the winner that T's & C's could be met first (or move to 2nd place winner etc)


Anyway - The first place winner was confirmed- official announcement from Smithwicks is due after the brewday. I won't ruin that for them by posting it here, but I can assure you it's coming.

The homebrew entry that won was very good, hopefully the brewery version follows the same.

There has been a winner... And its one of our own! Donny of this parish, ( and the resurrected South Central Brewers)  was chosen as the overall winner, with a lime and mango infused beer  going by the name " Jamaican Me Crazy".
He had been asked to keep things under wraps by the smithwicks folk, until they had things in order.
Tis a great day for the parish of the South Central  Brewers really.

Great stuff, Congrats Donny!
