The board, we also got handouts - 1st went to #19, 2nd to #37 and 3rd to #15 which I thought was one of the best, besides my own, my top choice was #21

I was number 39

The bottle setup

I grabbed a duck burrito and pretzel before it got underway

Nice pics, Scott. That was a pretty cool event with some nice beers; number 39 included. I think there were some other factors that went into the winner selection, but still a neat way to select a pro-am brewer. Too bad a burrito was $12.

That brat was good, but not $12 good. Thanks for taking those pics. I didn't even think to do that. And a tip for attending Stone: Don't bring in plastic water bottles unless you feel like being hassled!
