Club Competition Two

By Mark Bilbrough, President

Another fantastic day of judging on Sunday, July 28, saw 18 brave souls rock up bright and early to the Wig & Pen to judge the second and final club competition for the year.

We powered through many great beers covering the spectrum of lagers, bitters, specialties and Belgians (with a few stray IPA, stout, wheat and a no-yeast to round out the 60 beers in competition).

Thanks to all who entered and I hope everyone gets value from the feedback on the day.
