Golden Pints Awards 2010 - my nominations


 
.





Fellow Beer Blogger Mark Dredge has opened up nominations for the 2010 Golden Pints Awards. You can read his original post here. I thought I'd get my thinking cap on and submit my nominations for the GPA 2010. It's been a great year for beers and brewing with some really fine examples of quality beers out there so it was pretty difficult in some categories to get it down to a single winner.

So here goes -  the beer monkey's nominations,


Best UK Draught -    Fyne Ales Jarl


Best UK Bottled Beer -    Kernel Brewery S.C.A.NS IPA / Brewdog Bashah Reserve


Best Overseas Draught -    Keesmann Herren Pils


Best Overseas Bottled Beer -    Saison Du BUFF


Best Overall Beer -    Fyne Ales Jarl


Best Pump Clip -    Anything by Houston!!!!


Best UK Brewery -   Thornbridge / Fyne Ales


Overseas Brewery -    Stone


Best Pub / Bar -    The Jolly Butcher's, Stoke Newington


Best Festival -     GBBF


Best Independent Retailer -  Utobeer


Best Online Retailer -    My Brewery Tap / Beer Merchants


Best Beer Blogger -     Cooking Lager


Best Beer Twitterer -     Beer Reviews Andy


Best Brewery Online -    Brewdog


Open Category -   Most annoying word to describe a beer  in 2010 - "Awesome!!!"


My hopes for 2011 -   more collaborations, continued innovation, excellent beer.

    Jarl was truly the most awesome beer of the gbbf! ;-)
    Do you know that it's becoming a regular staple brew in the Fyne Ales stable in 2011. Bottles too.
    I'm not a betting man but i'd put my cash on Fyne Ales Jarl being there or thereabouts when it comes to Champion Beer of Scotland, if not Britain in 2011. That's if there is any beer justice in this world.
