A Big Thanks from Me and the Northern Craft Brewers, must go to Adrian & Emma for all your Hard work yesterday on the Bars, please also thank Ewan & the Other two people from the brewery (sorry their names have escaped me) for Judging and also manning the bar.

I would Also thank Tony Gartland, for letting us use such a Fine venue, (The Saltaire Brewery Building really is a cracking venue), and also for Supplying the Fantasic Trophies, All well worth winning and I'm Sure they are all going to be prized for years to come.

Also A Big thanks From The Northern Craft Brewers and Myself, to all that came on the day, the Competitors who entered such a high class of beers to Judge, the Judges appeared to be really enjoying themselves finding the winners from 9 shortlisted beers, from the 32 that were entered on the day, and all that took and interest, I'm sure If we run this again next year it will be a very prestigious prize to win.

All the beers that placed were spectacular examples of the Style, and the Winning beer From Steve Syson, was a cracker, that was so good the judges finished off the two bottles entered, and only a lucky few (me Included ) had the chance to sample it.

O I nearly forgot, being as this was originally a Northern Craft Brewers Vs Midlands Craft Brewers event, the results of the inter club competition were
Midlands 3 places in the top 6
NCB 2 places in the Top 6

Therefore The Midlands Craft Brewers took the Honors for 2012

Cheers & here's to the next event.
