3rd Limbo comp

Long live session beer!

So, when is this going to be? I recall that Tom (AKA Dash 6) indicated he was keen to host this one. Tom, want to put a pin in the calendar for this?

A couple of us discussed the format and had a few ideas to improve it. How about this:

  • As per the inaugural event, all the entries are randomly numbered and decanted into jugs. This will allow us to go back to beers we tasted early on to re-compare them if need be. 
  • We simply pick our top three beers and give them 3, 2 and 1 points. The person with the most points wins. This will keep it simple to score and possibly make it a more positive affair (looking for the positive in a beer rather than focussing on faults). 

Does this sound like a plan? Fine the way it is? Other suggestions?

    I haven't had time to brew for this, so if the date could be pushed back, that will be swell. Brewing this weekend.

      Is this still happening? I have a tiny beer, its designed for lactation but is pretty tasty even for those not lactating...
