The Bad
Most over hyped on twitter beer event - Zanwze Launch at the Earl of Essex, I feel sorry for those interested who did not turn up for fear of queues out the door. Good event though.
Most over hyped beer - Just about any limited release from Brewdog
Worst beer - Joint award - Brewdog and Flying Dog, International Arms race.
Need a New Mortgage Award - The Craft Beer Co. I still find myself going there regularly though.
Fastest Drain-pour - My batch of decadence stout that made a mess of many a kitchen as I bottled it too early. Only a drain pour of you were lucky enough to open over a sink. The keg tasted great though. ;-)
