Rebel Barrel 2014; Empty Oct beer and Possible Refill

[Garry]

Just looking at the rules, we can't enter the group beer.

Each entry must be brewed solely by the entrant.

Besides, if Eoin is entering his, the judges will know that the barrel beer is the same. There were only 4 entries in the old ale category last year.

I'll ask about a barrel competition.

balls about the sole brewer thing, but a barrel competition would be a bit of fun anyway with that gigantic barrel trophy

We lads in South Dublin (living there mind ) would love an opportunity to take that huge cup off yer hands. "We was robbed" last year and with home town advantage this year we should be a shoe in ;-)

I think it would be a bit of craic, and as you will have a load of judges about, why not?

How many 'new' barrel beers are floating about?

1. Rebels
2. SD
3.
4.
5.

2 is enough for a competition 
if we keep the monster-cup as the one prize for the barrel comp and pass it onto the winners, then the nationals dont even have to get a prize, just organize a couple of impartial judges to decide a winner

You weren't robbed from what I recall, as the deliberation was between 2nd and 3rd place, not between 1st and 2nd.
