There was a mention of single-style competition in another thread.

Totally out of season but I was aiming to do an all Stout summer competition.
This could be expanded to accomodate any Black Beers, so
Schwarzbier
Black Lager
Black IPA (Other than colour, categorised as IPA)

I call it Monochrome

I spoke to the Lee Valley lads, but a competition only suits much later in the year.
I think we should go ahead with this as there is interest and I prefer not to hang about.

*Closes eyes, points at calendar*
Jul 19th?

Any objections or further input? (Or sporting events that clash, I never know about these things)

Won't know till championship!

That sounds like a plan, sure we can talk about it at the brew comp.

How dark is black?

Hurray for Sinnamar!

So, any beer we want so long as it's black - you're not related to Henry Ford by any chance?  I always had him down as West Cork, not east.

Checked out the sports situation, should be relatively quiet, the World Cup, Munster Hurling Final (and Connacht football) are all the previous weekend, so everything is taking a bit of a breather after all that.  There's a couple of football qualifiers on the Saturday but they're not exactly showstoppers. 
Been thinking about brewing a stout for a while, so no excuses now!

Well if you are including Black IPA's I am more than likely in.

This fell by the wayside for a number of reasons.
House hunting with move shortly, work and other important beer stuff!

I will start a fresh thread.
Thanks for the bump!
