    Yeah you have to give it to the volunteers. The effort and commitment they put in is admirable. All really helpful and couldn't do enough for you.

    US bar was out of this world again. Hit it's peak on Thursday. Some fantastic Belgian and Italian beers on offer too

    Yeah you could tell it had peaked as today there were only about 5 or 6 casks pouring

    Got back home today from GBBF. Yes, it really takes that long.
    Lucky enough to be asked, at the last moment, to Judge the bottled beers and was on the panel that had the winner.
    Worked mostly the American but spent some time on German/Czech as well. Had enough many stunning beers to see me through to the end of the year, must have sampled about three quarters of US Cask and a good portion of the new bottles. Still some to go at when they get here.
    Michael Jackson American Cask Award as follows

    First Place
    Stone Brewing Company Stone Ruination Double IPA 2.0

    Second Place
    Mad Fox Brewing Company Barrel Aged Crazy Ivan Russian Imperial Stout (Soured)

    Third Place
    Rising Tide Brewing Company Zephyr India Pale Ale
