Ok - now the real action begins...

This is how it ended... let's find out how we got there

Yesterday we tested all 32 COGH beers to destruction - and very nearly ourselves. Over the course of the World Cup we will release the match reports, and ultimately reveal the greatest beer on the planet - at least the best one we were able to get hold of over the last month.

Fuelled only by bar snacks, fish stew and err... loads and loads of beers, our intrepid team left no stone unturned, no bottle untried and put petty patriotism to one side to seek out the ultimate fusion of hops, yeast, water and most importantly alcohol. Let's meet the team of EBT's - Executive Beer Tasters.

Peter 'call me chef' Styles

James 'host with the most' Byford

Dan 'you couldn't make it up' Last

Lee 'Big Deaks' Deacon

Stuart 'theballisround' Fuller

There is another motley crew you need to meet - the beers. Here our all 32 contestants in their swimwear. Aren't they beautiful?

And so - without further ado - let's kick off the action - the Cup of Good Hop team is ready to bring you all the action. Let's go...

The search widens...

World Cup beer bloggers: ‘Help us find last five rare brews’

Two Sussex beer bloggers are in a race against time to find five brews from five World Cup countries in order to complete their collection, making it possible for them to host a Beer World Cup this summer.

The Cup of Good Hop - http://cupofgoodhop.blogspot.com – will pit the best beers from countries such as Brazil, Nigeria and Japan in a match-by-match basis in order to find the greatest combiner of hops, yeast, water and alcohol on the planet. The blog has achieved more than 1,000 hits since its inception a little over two weeks ago.

Brighton-based beer hunters Peter Styles and James Byford have so far sourced 27 of the 32 national tipples, but are stumped as to where to find brews from the following countries:-

Cameroon
Ghana
North Korea
Slovakia
Uruguay

Peter says of the challenge: ‘It’s been great fun collecting the beers so far but these last five have left us stumped. None of these countries export their beer to the UK and it would be a great shame if our challenge was to fail as a result. If anyone has a beer from any of these countries going spare, we’d be so grateful.’

Anyone who can help Peter and James with their noble quest should contact them on 07946 825926 or email pstymail@yahoo.com. Alternatively, they can just enjoy the blog and the World Cup as it unfolds from June 11^th.
