Free booze - sort of

...which is why I've avoided using loads of exclamation marks and the like.

Here's the deal. After the Belfast Ales comp in November, I came home with about 20 assorted bottles of the fruits of folks' hard labour.

The beer's going down the sink and the bottles into the recycling. Should have been done on competition day, but we ran out of time and is was easier to just chuck them in the back of the car.

But now they're taking up precious space on my brewing counter.

However, if you want to save these bottles from their impending doom, drop me a pm before next Wednesday. This is an all or nothing deal. No sorting through bottles and picking the styles you like. You take them all.
Just to be even more awkward, they're not even in a box or crate.

Now amongst these many and varied bottles may lie a real gem or two that scored highly but not just highly enough to make it out of a tough group into BOS.
Others may be not be so good, or have not aged well in my garage over the last 3 months.
Only I know their full history and I'm not telling anyone.
However, no judge was seen spitting any of them out in revulsion.

If you just want them for the bottles then you're still welcome to them, but you'll be doing the opening and emptying  - in your own home.

So there you are. Just seeing if anyone wants this interesting little collection before it's lost to the world forever.


Cheers,
