The Great Bunker Beer Off

After nearly 7 weeks of extensive and exhaustive testing it was finals weekend here at the Cotswold Bunker. 
All was to be revealed on Monday!
These were the contenders:


Saturday night saw two brews fall by the wayside and Sunday's finals session would decide the winner.

However Sundays' final was such a close run thing that it was to require a tie break on Monday evening to decide the winner,

Two contenders had been eliminated leaving these little beauties to fight another day!


It was a close run thing and took five bottles before a decision was arrived at,

Those of you with your money on Timothy Taylors Landlord would have been dissapointed as it was the first to go and it required a further drink off before The Golden Champion from Hall & Woodhouse was declared the winner.


(Try setting that up after 5 pints!)

Described as "a bright, crisp golden beer with floral hints of elderflower" it is brewed by Hall and Woodhouse at the 240 year old Blandford Brewery on the banks of the River Stour in Blandford, Dorset.

A worthy winner!

Well I'm off to Tesco Express to replenish my stocks of The Golden Champion (3 for £5) so I'll leave you with this "Don't try this at home" sketch:


Hey Ho!
