2017 National Brewing Championships

It's confusing because we call "category" both competition and BJCP ones (and the sub-categories too, usually). Furthermore the website awards are grouped by BJCP category

[Fatcontro11er]

Yes I was really confused by the way the categories were re-categoried but that's much clearer now! Thanks!

[phynes1]

Awards in competition category 20 are:
-  1st: Peter Dudley - N.W.Ale (25C: Belgian Golden Strong Ale)
- 2nd: Andrew Behan - Comic(24B: Belgian Pale Ale)
- 3rd: Derek Foley - 666 (25C: Belgian Golden Strong Ale)
- HM: Mark Lucey - Divil(25C: Belgian Golden Strong Ale)

On the competition front page its saying im jointed 3rd in Strong Belgian Ale category. Is that correct, am I reading it right?

[giacomo]

No: you got 3rd (I imagine) for saisons (Competition category 19) and not Belgian Strong Ales (comp.cat 20)

But because of the BJCP category grouping on the website, they are displayed together

[phynes1]

Ok. But do I medel based on that?

[Leann ull]

Where's me medal?
I think it's better that we all wait for the full list of medal/cat winners to be published by Slugtrap?
That list makes no sense to me either but is generic to the competition system and takes no consideration of the groupings that were made.

[phynes1]

Ha,I'm not looking for a medel. This is my first competition, I'm just wondering if there are medels for each category.

[giacomo]

Medals were awarded by competition category. If you show up as medaled on the website, then you did get a medal, just the category showed doesn't necessarily align

[Leann ull]

Well done Phynes

Are the beers judged according to style and then judged according to the competition catergory then?

Check post 405 on this thread or explains the grouping of the beers. Some beers were grouped together and we're moved from their bjcp category. For example Foreign Extra Stout was put up against the imperial stouts instead of being pitched against the oatmeal/tropical/sweet stout as it is grouped in bjcp.

[giacomo]

All beers judged to BJCP style in groupings matching the Competition category.
Competition category is just the "awards" container, is not relevant for judging purposes

The important thing is I got gold

[Leann ull]

Sure we've loads why did you want anymore

[giacomo]

Bit of copy paste and I grouped back the entries by Competition category, which should give you a better view of which medals were awarded in each category.
Remember is not an official document, just my own hand-driven copy-paste from the Competition awards page
