More questions, rather than answers, I'm afraid:

I've never entered a brewing competition but my latest batch, Proper Order (brewed on the 12th of July) has really tempted me to have a go.

Only thing is, it's basically my take on a clone recipe for St. Austell's Proper Job. Does a complete lack of originality preclude one from entering?


Cheers,

-Barry

Are there entry forms? Is there an address people outside of Belfast can post entries to?

Wouldn't have thought so Bazza. Is there anything in the entry rules?

Surely if you brewed it it's your beer and the competition is more to do with the actual brewing?

There is supposed to be a Dublin drop point, but haven't heard where/when.
