I’ve never been to one of these before so I’ll just follow the power-raters’ lead.


At least Kenny isn’t coming - he normally takes a third of a bottle regardless of numbers

Yeah, large format bottles (e.g. 650ml/750ml) are obviously much better sizes for these types of tastings.

There are definitely some beers on the list that folks will pass on since they have had before.

If people have the time, it would be helpful to go through the spreadsheet and note which you’ve had and not had so that we can get an idea for which beers will need to be shared the most.

Oh well, size isn’t everything.

I’ll be bringing a test tube to make sure I get my country ticks!

I used a spirit measure to divvy out dark Lord, perhaps similar can be done here for special cases? (almost Danish thimble rating)

I have already started to do this: but the bloody spreadsheet keeps growing! I shall wait until Friday before completing the list I need/ would like to try.

The Male Strippers: Greatest Show on Earth. Now that is one I want to grab hold of!

Currently 15 ’players’ with a wife/friend or two listed on the Events Page.

60 Plus beers with some more to come: only about 50 new beers to me so far!

Yes I put the stripper on there. Luckily someone has put his name down, so I dont need to pay someone to do it.
