Looking for an official critique, but I always think that my next batch will be better so put it off. With the submission date approaching for this event, this may be a good time to give it a try. Two questions:
One of the rules states bottles must be free of raised glass designs, etched logos I have a beer bottled in what I think are Hoegaarden bottles. They are the 12 oz bottles with a small amount of raised lettering toward the base and a small raised picture on the neck that is slightly bulged compared to standard bottles. It sounds like this would be grounds for disqualifications. Anyone have experience with these bottles?
The other thing is picking the correct category. I am calling this an ESB, but thats just a semi educated guess. Does it sound correct?
