Hello Brewers, the last 2 years we have had a barrel cup which was a bit of interclub fun.
We judge at the Nationals and it's a bit of fun.
Club Barrels are not permitted entry to the Nationals main competition and I know the organisers are watching out for them in the entry field as in previous years.
I know some clubs have been churning them out but not sure what the rest of you have been up to, anyway I'm gonna start a list and entry would be 2 X 330's or 1x500

The more the merrier.
Although being limited volume & hard enough to keep from drinking, can't see it being a big category.

The barrel beers in previous years haven't got the attention they deserve so this year we'll have dedicated judges who aren't suffering from palate fatigue and get scoresheets filled out for each beer.

Thankyou for reminder can you bring it on the day or give to Bubbles, he has some T-Shirts belonging to me.
Kev you in Dublin or any of the Galway heads in Dublin?. I'm probably in Galway tomorrow week.
Anything from LB lads? I have an entry from NCB.
After all these collaborative barrels are real "Club Cup" ;)

Quote from: CH on February 22, 2016, 02:25:08 PMJesus wept, the crazy thing is your actually serious :) No way I will get through mine anytime soon, the Russian imperial Porter we did is nice but I find it a real mind blower so limit it to very small quantities. The barley wine is actually stronger but with much less whiskey spirit cutting through its easier to drink & get up the next day.
