Leon how's the list looking. You are still judging next weekend

Off the top of my head, about 13 so far.

Yes, that's the plan. Awaiting your neipa.

Recent arrivals from @Ellskitchen @samale @Hazelwood Brewery @MickDundee

On the negative side, my mate and his wife - my two assistant judges can't make it.

Yesterday saw the arrival of @Cptn_Needa IPA

Today saw 3 arrival, thankfully one of the beers from @dave_77 is for after the comp. @dan125 NEIPA arrived and is the strongest of the bunch at 7.6%

So unless any arrive in the morning I have 20 beers to judge. Wish me luck, if you don't hear from me over the weekend then I am deep in the judging zone i.e. pi55ed

Yours was number 11.

Finishing on number 12 which I just poured.
Had my wife helping but she is requesting less as we go along. I do suppose she as a busy day tomorrow, 8 cleaners to sort the post half term madness.

How legible are your tasting notes?

Perfect. 5 have been typed up already. Perfectly fine last night and feel great today. If @Hazelwood Brewery can drink 12 pints a day then so can I.

I don’t think I could handle 12 pints and certainly wouldn’t feel good the next day. How’s your wife’s head this morning?

She's good. She wasn't finishing her measures so gave up giving her any. She gone out first thing to sort the holiday lets out. Once she is back I can get back on it
