So is everyone set for this years event?

This will be the first time I have entered my beers into anything like this so will be interested to see how they fair.

Shipping and drop off window now open!

Three weeks to get entries in...

That's good, three weeks to finalise what I'm entering.... One beer that's a maybe is still in the FV's. Also have bottling to do on two other probables.

Not as organised as last year!

You might not be, but I've been surprised by the number of people entering 10ish beers

[alikocho]

This is already bigger than last year. More beer, more brewers, more judges.

Aside from a few categories, it looks as though most things will stand alone (at top level) this year.

So, Ali, who is bringing beer for the bar, any arrangements etc that we need to know of?

I'll update on Monday when I've had time to breathe...
