Struck Gold (and Silver)

Post by BigPapaG »

I submitted a few brews to this years Amber Waves of Grain competition...

And the results are now posted.

Seems my Wee Heavy took First Place in it's category!

I was also fortunate to see my Biere De Garde place Second in its category!

No score sheets yet, that will take a week or more but I'll provide some scores when I get them.

My understanding is that there were over 600 entries in total in this competition.

WhooHoo!

:cool:
