I can't fault them for trying to mail out the results in one package, given the recent increases in Canada Post rates. However, they probably could have reached out a bit earlier on the Brewnoser main page to determine who to send the results to. I'm guessing they couldn't just send all the results to one random person in the Brewnosers because some people may not want their results shared? Just a thought. Something to keep in mind when we do our own competition.

I've never entered or organized a competition, but aren't part of the entry fees there to cover the cost of mailing the results?

I would think so, Ales is pretty cheap to enter though.

Strange, I got my results mailed to me pretty soon after the comp last year, must have been some mix up.

Score sheets came today. I was very pleased with the quality of them. Points ranged between 27 and 39.

I got a 29 and two 31s. Not my best, but my next ones will be better. I'm remaking my 29 next weekend (southern English brown), so at this point I'm just glad to have my feedback.

this is why we need our own competition, lol. Just plan the judging for a couple of weeks before Hoptoberfest.

Tap 1: Festa Brew Scotch Ale
Tap 2:
"Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain -
Quaintest thoughts - queerist fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today." ~ Poe
