Does anyone know when folk who weren't there will get scores and feedback?
I sent a beer in but couldn't be there on the day.

I can only see "Judging score sheets and prizes (where applicable) will be sent out shortly after the competition", so hopefully soon in the coming days. I'm really interested to see what they put, even though I know the score.

Well done - I was one of the judges. It was a very good, if unexciting beer. The rest of the flight was very poor - 11 points separated 1st and 2nd place.

Thanks, dedken. I'm only 20 AG brews in so I'm happy with that! I sent the beers off to get some feedback and to see if I'm doing anything drastically wrong (off-flavours that I don't notice/can't taste etc) and it's good to know I'm getting the basics right :)
