Mini Beer Fest!

Last night Steedo and I invited Keeno around to try aload of real ales (some a bit strong to drink alone) and con Keeno into playing a few games .... The game part was a failure as we played 2 games of coup at around midnight after too many beers ...... We first at 2am!

Anyway a good time was had drinking beers .... We were scoring from 1-5 with Steedo using 0.5s, Keeno going to 1 decimal place and I was only using integers. We need to refine the system, I'm thinking just ordering the beers is the way forward. I also think that it is difficult to score a 5 as the context of a beer can change its flavour - an ice cold larger after good walk on a hot day for example. 

So anyway here are the scores (in the order they were drunk);

Cornish Knocker 11

Waterloo (beer of the brave 8%) 6

Leffe Nectar 4.5 - personally I thought this was too sweet, it reminded me of special brew which is not a good thing! Yuk!

Ruby Rooster (Lidl) 6

King Goblin 12 - 6.6% dangerously drinkable. 

Bitburger 10.5 - the only larger in the mix. 

Tim Taylor's Landlord 11.3 

Barngates Amberside 10

Porthleven 10.5

Marston IPA 9 - the average!

Derail ale 10.9 -

Swordfish 8.3

McEwans Champion 4.8 (7.3%) 

So King Goblin was the winner - you couldn't drink a lot of it mind you. Tim Taylor and Cornish Knocker were the session beer winners.  

Avoid Leffe Nectar and McEwans (not) Champion!

Next time we will try a game in amongst the beer scoring.
