Haha, nice. I had a good chat with the shop I got my Trillium one for A from because I had to ask for it and they're quite pricey. Said I'd be back for some of the other weeks

My D entry is in.
Note, @Bickaxe that I've had to go with a different spirit because not many gins have the word 'dark' in them! I have Christmas in a glass.

My entries for rounds D, E, F & G have all been email off.

Just to double check, for the Dark round. Can the "Dark" be anywhere or does it need to be included in the beer name?
Also can foreign variations of dark be allowed such as "Dunkel"?

No foreign variations.
'Dark' can be anywhere but I need to see it so you might have to go to the effort of more than 1 pic.
Label is easiest though.

No worries. I best get out again then as mine was a German Dunkel. Glad i checked!
Least we've not hit the Germany round yet

I'll add some Dunkels to my shopping list for the German round...

Glad you said about the foreign variations as my H entry was possibly going to be a beer called 'F*ck de kerstboom staat in de fik!!'.
It's Dutch should you wish to translate the name.

I think that's going to be quite a tricky round given we're in the middle of the year!
Oh OK, that makes it slightly easier. I thought it just had to be in the name. If it's just anywhere on the label that's easier. I should be able to get hold of something decent then.
That was part of my thinking, but then nearly every category is middle of the year (compared to Xmas) so it wouldn't really matter.
The foreign name thing would take me a while to translate if everyone did it especially when I have a hangover on Sunday mornings. So any round that requires more detail or certain words to appear will not allow foreign wording.

Cheers for the clarification. I did a little stalking and found potentially the winning beer, but i'd have never got it in time 
Means i'm off to the beer shop after work before my jab.

If people are trying to find out the brewery closest to me, there is a good chance of not matching with the theme. And they tend to do most of it in my local alehouse so my friends would have had it too.
I'm certainly interested in seeing what people enter as I like dark beers which I think is likely to be the most common entry.

Maybe, i had spotted a brewery in Salisbury called Dark Revolution. I saw you had mentioned being between Southampton and Portsmouth. I know Salisbury is a bit of a trek, but i thought it might've been close enough to win!
I know it, had a few from there which were quite nice according to my history.
I have just realised that I haven't thought of a tie-breaker should 2 or more people enter a beer from the same brewery closest to me. And even then it could be the same beer.
Might go with first come, first served.

I'd just give 'em both a bonus!
