Hmm was going for a swim tonight... Into Sweetman's instead!

Was there last night, a few samples of both were had.

The Old Town Christmas Ale had the fuller body of the two and a nice warming feeling at 7.5% and a dry finish, a big liquorice hit on the nose. I plumped for this one.

The Apple Pie Ale was good in its own right but the fuller body and warmer spices of the Old Town ale got my vote...

Although the competition folks had gone, ballot box and all before we realised :P

Is the winner if these two craft brews going to be brewed again and rolled out nationwide or what's the story?

As far as I know it just ends with the cash prize.
