Looks all good, but the "award-winning" thing was devalued on my way home this evening when I saw this:
I couldn't believe this sh*t had actually won anything that matters, so I pursued the claim. You have to pay to "register" for an award...
An Award is a recognition by fellow professional brewers that a beer is an outstanding commercial example of its style.
Judges are briefed to use their professional skill to evaluate each entry for its sensual appeal, and to accredit its relevance in its category and its class to the commercial worth of the beer quality.
Good job it's not about anything as plebeian as drinking the stuff.

Tonight I'm enjoying .... Bath Ales Gem ( 2 for £3 in Waitrose)
Had a Bath Ales Golden Hare at the weekend as part of my birthday celebrations

Son #2 is 14, going on 15. He's at the age where he has developed a strong interest in beer, just as I did at his age.
I've let him try various beers. Unlike his mates, he thinks lager is gassy, tasteless rubbish. His favourite at the moment is a dark IPA from Tesco although he did like the Old Empire IPA too
I'm so proud of him

Oh do really I like my job sometimes - customers gives me beer...
Just got given a few bottle of each of these
The 1990 Distortion (5%) was brewed at the Hackney Brewery.
Tasting notes.
This biting hefeweizen formulates it's character with many different subtle flavours.
Familiar clovey notes are in harmony with hints of banana, followed by the suggestion
of bubble gum and vanilla. Good carbonation teamed with the strong body leave you
fortified and satisfied in equal measure.

Who would have thought that bubble gum, cloves and banana would be a winning combo!!!!!!!!!!

Notes suggesting a taste of bollocks might be a bit off-putting.
Prunes?

That's the fella. Not what I would expect a teenager to like but there you go. Decent taste in beer, more than can be said for his clothes and music

Boom!!
13.5% old ale from Michigan. This is great if you like strong, sweet ales. Tastes like they dissolved a Christmas cake in alcohol. Couldn't drink too many of them in one go though!
