Penalty shoot out!

Denmark (Elephant) met France (Kronenbourg) yesterday in the first semi final. The two beers were very different. The Elephant threatened to out muscle Kronenbourg, as it has done to previous competitors. But Kronenbourg stood its ground, its more refreshing style backed with well balanced flavour. So we had to go to a penalty shoot out for the first time this competition. We had been considering blind tastings but clearly that wouldn't work with two such different beers. So we resorted to old faithful - the toss of a coin. Heads - it would be France. Tails - it would be Denmark (Elephants do have tails). Mike flipped the coin. And Denmark goes through! Bad luck France.
