So it looks like close but no cigar, 49 out of 50 it is.
Favourite International ales were the Norwegian Oatmeal Stout, the Dutch Spiced Ale and the Smoked Porter from Guam.
Of the 'home' brews, Theakston Infallible, Oakleaf 10 Little Acorns, Wood's Ebony, Harviestoun Old Manor, Cotleigh Redfire, Maxim John Bull Stout & Wadworth Cooper's Vice ticked the most boxes but an honourable mention must go to Belhaven Old Gold which was a very pleasant surprise.
