Beers of the World - Mk 5 *** RULES AND SIGNUP HERE ***
Same for me, had to try and be a bit creative this week.
Actually, thinking about it, I MAY have got away with it this week. Should be interesting. Looking forward to seeing what you came up with too.
Commissario
I've submitted round I.
Soldato
My Ireland beer is absolutely disgusting and nothing like any American Pale Ale I’ve ever had before.
Was a much harder round than I was initially expecting. Found a local(ish) tap room with one on tap. Just headed down and wish I hadn’t ordered a full pint. Going to have to have a consolation second.

Actually. Could be this place just destroys beer.
I’ve just gone for half of an IPA which gets over 4 on Untappd so you’d think it’d be great but it just doesn’t taste right at all. Especially for something that’s described as “a tropical punch to the chops”…..

Probably going to be a scratch this week. Ruptured my achilles tendon and been pretty much sofa bound this week. Unless I can persuade the wife to dash round to the off-licence I’m on zero.
Commissario
Persuade, persuade!
Also, I just sent a second email through to play my Jester this week.
So if I guess what you've entered, you get points otherwise nothing.
Should be interesting.
Unless anyone else entered Guinness, in which case you get fewer points.
Hmmm....
Oh. I didn't realise that was in the deal. Hmmf. Well, I'll use Guinness as a backup.
Soldato
Eh? The bulk of the points are for a unique entry lol.
I never pay attention to that, I just pay attention to getting a qualifying entry in <shrug>.
Soldato
That was the original idea of the whole competition when it started many years ago.
With quite a small number of players this year and what seems to be double the amount of small craft breweries each year it's not too difficult to find a unique beer - I think there's only been 1 round so far where there were non-unique entries?

Yep and twice in the same round too.
Might have to restrict things a bit further in the future as its just too open.
Soldato
I think you've done a good job with the setup this year though! The various bonuses make it much more interesting than just points for uniqueness.
Soldato
Yup, agreed. I'm sure we'll see some duplicates this week too...
