Any chance of best Irish stout category. Big award for any micro brewery to have best Irish stout in the world.

Picking one style for a special award seems weirdly arbitrary. And what about the rest? Would the best stout be ineligible for the other prizes?

Belfast Black seems to be missing off the list?

It's now March, folks, so nearly time to get your ballot papers in if you want to take part.

I find the process easier if I copy the list into a text file, eliminate the beers I haven't had this year, pick the ones I really enjoyed from the remains, and then try to put them in order of preference. But however you want to do it is up to you.

Send us your top 10s (or however many up to 10) at <!-- e --><a href="This email address is being protected from spambots.

The timing is a little bit tight this year if we're going to present the prizes on 3rd April at Franciscan Well, so if you can send your votes in the next couple of weeks that'd be really helpful.

Cheers!
