There have been some amazing Labels Off events, looking at the history and style of West Coast IPAs, tasting them without any prejudice of who brewed them.
Planning now starts on the next sessions and style!
People of Sheffield!
The latest venue to host a #LabelsOff event!!
If there's any tickets still left, get them!
If there aren't, get them to start a waiting list!
Just started buying the West Cost IPAs for this event. YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT! Can’t wait to run our two @LabelsOffUK sessions. Handful of tickets still left if you fancy - Wed & Sun sessions end of July, 6 beers, £15pp

@rgbeervault@Temperance_Brew And the following week on Thursday 13th July, it's the turn of Leeds at @friendsofham !

It highlighted as the two events before did, that the .it's liked beer wasn't considered "true to style"
So what does this mean for folks when ordering a beer of that style?
This was an amazing tasting to take part in, and probably the most critical!
With one table full of commercial brewery staff, another full of dedicated homebrewers, and the third of keen drinkers, there was nowhere to hide!
@mrcjmartin @Popnhops @ThatBeerPlaceHQ Oh yes!
It was joint split between Burnt Mill and Wylam!
But everyone agreed that Stone was the most true to style!
Each venue running a Labels Off event choses their own beers, here's what @ThatBeerPlaceHQ chose for their West Coast IPAs!
Can you guess which was the most popular in their blind tasting?
It's the Manchester Labels Off event tomorrow and there's a couple of tickets available on the door!
Get in touch with @BeerNouveau if you want to come to what will surely be a fun night drinking and talking about beer!
It was a close race but a delicious Track beer came out on top! And interestingly enough, the one actual bona fide American West Coast was the least popular!
Thank you to all our attendees, we really enjoyed this little experiment.
What a great inaugural Labels Off evening we had last night! 🍻
72 cans of beer were stripped of their identity (that was a job!) & served to our beery guests over the evening. Plenty of water was consumed too, because those Westies can be pretty drying! 💦
A brand new event is coming to R&G's...

Great night last night hosting the 1st @LabelsOffUK blind tasting! This month's style was West Coast IPA. Waaaaay more variation than expected & some interesting outcomes when it came to judging.
Come join us next month when we'll do it again!
