I am in for beer competition. Please link those FB folks back to the site, you may influence a new rider...
 
Two a week may be a little aggressive. Not for me...😀, but maybe for some.
If there is a lack of participants, maybe slow it down?
I'll do my best to keep up.

Having this ready to go on St Paddy's day was a good move.

Go at your own pace. Meaning, if you can only do one pair per week then do one pair.

Didn't think giving people 7 days to drink 4 beers was too much. Last time people complained about it dragging on too long and reduced participation showed. So changed it up. I hope you'll participate to the degree you can (at least one pair per week)
 
Without trying I am already bias as one in each bracket is already my go too's. Will be interesting how they stack...

That makes it even more interesting to me as I have my preconceived notions going in as well.

I remember being surprised last time when I voted out a few of my favs going in after I tasted the competition.
 
Maybe I missed it, but why isn't Limbo on the list? I've heard such great reveiws...

I'm probably one of those people who will have trouble keeping up with 2 contests/week. As much as I love good beer I generally only drink it on weekends and even then I'm a sipper. I'll try to contribute when I can though.

It is not widely available. Believe me...I know. Went to store after store looking for it. finally found after searching at least 5 or 6 stores....and that included big stores with large craft beer selections without success. Same reason hop ranch isn't included.

I'll join this. Don't know if I can get all of these in my area but am willing to hunt. Like matty I have some preconceived notions about how this will go.
 
ready. Now Dave knows where he can get some.

I found sculpin, Dales, and centennial at bourbon st on 22. I looked at a few places before giving up on flower power. I'll have to hit up little brother's by the weekend.
