It's a bit unnerving when Poc is the voice of reason.

Still, that's another way we could, nay should, do the awards, were it practical.

Its not practical though. How about for cider? What is commercially available here?

Bulmers
Bulmers light
Mac sweet
Mac dry
Johnny jump up
Llewellyn Dry
Llewellyn Sweet
Carsons Armagh Cider
and are there other macro brews? Linton Village, Strongbow etc..

Problem is if there are only 8 ciders that is not a big enough choice to make an award practical is it?

add Bulmers Mid Strength to that list
