Tomato is hosting the FIFA (Fuck I can’t Face Another) Beer World Cup and anybody is welcome to join in. You don’t have to be a food blogger. In fact, you don’t eve have to own a blog. All you have to do is email me your winning beers from each round of the game, and if you are a blogger include the link to your post.

How it works Check out the groupings here
Inevitably we will run parallel competitions, as the winning beers won’t match the actual football victors. There are two elements to the competition.

1. Follow the Fifa World Cup football groupings, tasting your favourite beer from each country and select a winner. Then each group will play out until we have a World Cup winner. On the conclusion of each group’s round email me the results within 24 hours.

Bonus rounds
2. For extra beer drinking tasting, exactly match beers to each team’s country of origin in actual games. Select a winner. Email results within 24 hours after each game.

You can enter as few or as many rounds as you want. The key is to participate and permalink here to lead others to join in.

Within 24 hours of each round email results and I will post a summary of the winners to create the definitive blog beer tasting. And remember to taste beer properly, you do need to swallow.

Competition starts: Friday 9 June 18.00 (German time)

Day 1. Check out the schedule here
Germany vs Costa Rica (what the hell do they drink?)
Poland vs Ecuador (Ditto)
