Thanks Mick, we're chuffed. We're a small club, but a tenacious bunch all the same!

Thanks all delighted with the win for the Wee County. I never imagined we would be winning something like this. It shows it's possible for any club to win.

So are us midlanders pushed down to third then?! (not that it matters!)

I'm glad the mistake was rectified. We were patting each other on the back and blowing our own horns since the scoresheets were released. It's a great acknowledgement for the club. We're all at home now doing up our business plans for turning pro. We're a small club but the amount of knowledge that we share with each other is great and we all edge each other on to become better brewers so we can catch up with King Crónán. Very flattering to achieve Best Club


...and now that our ego's are massive, the cup will be staying with us for the next few years too
fermenting - peach wheat, mango wheat

drinking - whiskey stout

I have to second this. The amount of information that we share at each meeting about what we did wrong, etc make it easier for us to brew better beers. The different brews I've tasted (good and bad) at each meeting makes it a club which helps us improve. Best of all is the lads involved that make it easier to turn up to a meeting and taste to the all hours 👍

It's with a lot of embarrassment that I have to announce that an error was made in the calculation of the Club Cup winners. All nominated entries were tabled on a spreadsheet which automatically summed the total scores. The error occurred because one beer's score from Sallins wasn't entered onto the system and thus, wasn't included in that club's total score. Normally I would go over the scoresheets and winners near the end of the judging but I was in helping with the best of show judging so it was all a bit rushed when I got back out to the laptop. Will know for next year to get someone else to double check all figures. So with all that said...

The actual winner, with 179 points, is;

Wee County Brewers

Apologies to all, especially Liffey Brewers and Wee County, for the mixup. Will award the Cup at Club Night, BrewCon.



So what was the final outcome then? Midlands had come second, does that now go to Liffey and we are third?
