.....fanfare.....appluase.....cheers......general acclaim ......
I pitched my taste buds against five other beer lovers at The Old Spitalfields Market this afternoon and after four flights of four beers trying to identify each beer, followed by a one minute speech I was the overall winner and will now hold the title of City of London Ale Taster for the coming year.
Cheers all - more on this to follow, I dare say.

Fantastic Steve, living the dream!
Fiddlesticks! So YOU are the new CLAT!!!!!
Well done, Steve -- your many, many years of practice has finally paid off!!
Congratulations!!! If you ever fancy turning your skills to actually run a pub visit the Greene King website for hundreds of available pubs.
Fantastic news - it was so good to see someone I 'know' win the competition!
You will do a great job!
Very well done - what a great thing to have on your CV!
Well done Steve!
This is some honour and I'm sure you will 'give it your all' throughout the year.
Cheers!
Alex.
Well done! I entered but didn't get shortlisted sadly. This was my entry, written in poem form if you're interested!

Congratulations.
I must confess that watching others drink beer was not really what I call a spectator sport. However, the Redemption brewery's Urban Dusk certainly helped pass the time.
Your presentation was a real rabble rousing speech but I would have knocked at least two marks off your score for your poor taste in shirts.
Thanks all. I think it was the shirt wot-won-it :-) Steve
I have already put this on facebook but I will say it again. Many many congratulations. What kudos for you, beer in London and Camra. The job certainly went to the best person. I look forward to hearing about your adventures on here.
