Title: Any Liffey Brewers entering the Small Beer competition?

This one - http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.com/forum/index.php/topic,5862.0.html

Judging is done on a club basis in May and the best beers are put forward for the 'main event' as it were

May isn't too far away so get brewing!

I don't deliberately brew sub 4% beers, but I may have the 2nd runnings from a barley wine coming in under 4%. Will see where it finishes.

From the RP book?

No chance of me paying €6.50 a beer in there. No chance of me paying €6 a beer in there either to be honest (only been in there once since the beers came in, and I was on the tea that day!)

Just realised I have a 4% stout on the go at the mo so that can be one of my entries  8)
