Entries


An incredible 4 Jesters played this round.
A couple of repeats, both @Martynt74 & Myself making that 4 times now.
I gave a point to @Sonea Fifer for making me laugh for his entry (that won't happen again). Sadly @Russinating, thats not my name.
@Ahleckz gets the bonus point for his weak entry
@Repta, how did you get hold of that? Its the one I was looking for.


Next round: N - Non alcoholic - Max 0.5% abv (31st July)

Bonus Points - 1pt for fewest total check ins (minimum 75)

 

[Bickaxe]

Mine wasn't very good. Verging on the dank and piney side with a heavy boozy taste.
Name was appropriate.

My original "Mark" was Pentrich Mark it Zero, then I spotted this one a couple of weeks ago. Lucky I did!

 

[Martynt74]

What actually was @Sonea Fifers entry?

Actually a fairly high % round. For the lowest to still be 4.2% is impressive.

I’ve got my next entry. Not looking forward to drinking it though.

What actually was @Sonea Fifers entry?

I'll let him reveal that.

 

[Russinating]

Sadly @Russinating, thats not my name.

Booooo . It is in Spanish (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Marcos for everyone else). Could have easily got a collab but I had to take a risk missing K. As long as no other entries qualify with foreign languages I'm content .



This was my second choice. Thoughts?! It's Marks and Spencer's Critus Pale Ale but the M&S bit is missing from the name on Untappd, even though the brewery is Fourpure, which was confusing.

 

[Martynt74]

Also I need to start paying more attention when buying beer. Saw one from Cierzo and always wanted to try their beers.

Realised when I got home it had Equanot hops which are some of my least favourite

 

[Executive Beef]

Glad mine wasn’t a duplicate, it certainly wasn’t anything special to drink.

 

[Repta]

Haven't had mine yet, can't really take much credit for finding it. Friend from Birmingham gave me a few Dig Brew beers and it happened to be one of them!

 

[Bickaxe]

I've had it. Thought it was great. Really want to find more.

 

[Ahleckz]

I didn’t think I was going to get the bonus for lowest ABV. It’s surprisingly tricky isn’t it, craft beer isn’t known for low abvs.

LHG have shown up 3 times for me I think!

I’ve yet to try this actually, killer hangover on Sunday and I’m off it this week (for now…)

 

[Ahleckz]

My week off drinking didn’t last long. Poured my entry. It’s alright, I like the fresh hippiness. Not sure I’ve had motueka hops before. 0 IBU but the hop flavour is there.
pretty different for me, but a good session pale ale. Only 4.2% as well. Perfect post house clean beer!

You sharing what your entry is or what? I'm on tenterhooks!

He's on holiday so won't be able to respond for a while.

 

[MikeTheNative]

This was quite decent, I would say nicer than Brewdog's other beers

Yeah, it's usually a regular pick for me when i see it in Supermarkets.

Thank you @Bickaxe - while I could have used my entry from the previous round for a safe collaboration entry I figured it's all in fun and it's all about trying something new (this wasn't new) but the idea was.

My entry for this particular round was never meant to be to be contentious but I had a few labels printed and decided to fire this off as my entry:





Came out with one point more than I expected to be quite fair

 

[Martynt74]

Maybe you'd have got 2 points if you'd not used Stella as a template

Funny you've tried that though, i was trying to sweet talk one brewery to print something for me for the holiday round!

You sneaky devil, I'll watch out for those sort of shenanigans now.

I gave the point as it made me chuckle and there was effort involved. Minimal, but its till effort.
But making your own label in my book constitutes as home brew which is why this was a one off.
