Ah brilliant, gold in category 35! Delighted!

Well done Judy Wilkins, the only home brewerette on the list... Cat 23 is a huge category and to get silver is a great achievement.

There were 11 entries.

Fair play to everyone yesterday. It was great fun and things went really smoothly. A great team effort. Alan and the crew in the Oslo really looked after us too.  So big thanks to everyone.

Well done to all the lads 

[johnrm]

Great gig, fantastic work by all. Looking forward to Dublin.

[Bubbles]

Congrats Rossa, on that rake of medals, that's very impressive stuff. Well done to all the medal winners too. I can't believe the numbers in some of those categories! Like Porter with 21 entries!!

Thanks to all the organisers, stewards and judges for their trojan work. Roll on the Dublin leg, really looking forward to it.

[BrewBilly]

Well done to all the winners - looking forward to seeing the Dublin leg.

Will the gold medalists share recipes at some point?

Cheers

Great question. I'd hope so. I'll stick mine up once I get a chance.

Wait until you see the big ones - stout, pale ale and ipa. I think they have over 40 in each. The spread had been great this year. Nearly every category was well represented. It really shows brewers are expanding their repertoire to new styles - often ones you can't readily buy here.

Nice one Derek. Cat 35 would have been in 23 last year so it would have had 32 this year.
