Title: Simon Lambert & Sons Pub & Brewery-Stouts & Porters Comp. [Sept 27th]
Post by: CARA on August 17, 2015, 03:28:04 PM
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.
Completely stealing Shinys entry requirements here but if you could have the following attached to entries (2 x 500ml bottles WITH ALL LABELS REMOVED) by elastic band;

First name
Surname
NHC forum nickname
BJCP Category
Beer name
Phone Number
Email
Planning to attend on the day (y/n/maybe)

Entries can be dropped into the pub or posted, where they will be kept in the cold room.
Entry fees can be paid via paypal ( cara@nationalhomebrewclub.com )

Thanks, and good luck!

I've just entered there now but just a quick question.  I normally put initials on the caps of the bottles so i can distinguish what i'm gonna drink (e.g P for porter, etc).  Is this a problem or shall i just blacken the cap out with the marker?  Any ideas of what to do?

We just hit ten entries there today so the odds are looking good!!!
Our "Man in the Merc" will be traversing the country on his normal business over the next 2 weeks so if there are people out there wishing to enter but not willing to use An Post, speak up and we can arrange something.

Happy brewing.

We're at 16 entries from the forum now and about a half dozen (so far) from the local lads.
Just a gentle reminder to send the money as a gift please and that all entry fees are going towards prizes.

Thanks again guys and good luck.

I have what could be described as an American Stout. High in bitterness to the point of Black IPA but also used Rum and Raisin so should I head for the speciality or American Stout section for an entry or hold on to them and enjoy them myself?!
Title: Re: Simon Lambert & Sons Pub & Brewery-Stouts & Porters Comp. [Sept 27th]
Post by: CARA on September 11, 2015, 04:07:51 PM
Sounds like something I would enjoy so send them on down! I think the speciality category would be most relevant. Just pop in the style that is based on with your entry please.
Title: Re: Simon Lambert & Sons Pub & Brewery-Stouts & Porters Comp. [Sept 27th]
Post by: garciaBernal on September 11, 2015, 04:16:06 PM
Nice one, speciality it is so. I'll sort it out Monday as I'm away for the weekend. And if anyone is passing through Ballymahon/Longford I can offload them for delivery! Cheers.

Might show the face on the day depending on funds (hitting up Amsterdam the following week so need to keep a few quid aside) but will give my entry to whomever just in case. 2 of the last 4 bottles, you better like it. I did anyway

Edit: given the day that's in it, will there be any pale stout?

33 paid entries on PayPal but I think I remember counting 37 entries in the cold room. Just sorting through everything again one last time. I will post more details later when I have everything labelled up and in order.

We have 8 judges for tomorrow and 3 stewards plus myself. Should run very very smoothly and quickly to leave plenty of time to enjoy one of the 9 stouts we have on :D

Judging will be upstairs in our meeting room to ensure no distractions for our lovely volunteers.

Good luck and thanks to all our runners. Except the 6 of ya who cant work paypal fees properly. :P

The Homebrew Company, Shane being the legend that he is, have donated 140 euro worth of vouchers too. Legends.

Thanks man!
Best of luck to all entrants today, really interesting selection of stouts & porters, I am very much looking forward to sampling the dreggs!

Huge thanks to our volunteer judges, Ciderhead, Andrew, Beerfly, Rukkus & BrenMurph and the local lads, JB, Darragh & Ruairi and our stewards Jack & Kellie without whom, the bottles would still be in a random order in the brewery  8)
