USBTC results
Well I recieved a reply from Scott Ingersoll of the USBTC, and sure enough, the results are in this months issue of All About Beer (which has been sitting on my desk for a few days). It seems our Schild Brau got beat by Capital Brewery’s Winter Skal. I bought a six pack of that this winter, and I must say it was pretty good. The overall winner (in the Vienna/Marzen category) was Snake River’s Alpinefest. That Snake River won does not surprise me, but that this beer won is a little surprising, since the usually do well in this category with their Vienna lager. Maybe my beer was a bit light for the category. Oh well, the guys at the USBTC do a good job, and it does not cost anything to enter. Scott said they had some tough personal problems to deal with, and thats why the delay in getting the results out. I’m just glad that they do such a good job with the competition. I assume they will have their webpage updated soon with the full results.
It was a nice day today, and the brewery was very busy. We have dozens of kegs of rootbeer going out for highschool graduations parties. Hopefully the weather will hold out and we will have a great Memorial Day weekend out here at the brewery.
