Batch 300 contest has been expanded to a few more categories.
Looks like I'll get to enter "Old Man Winter" strong ale.

They have also extended the deadline by 2 weeks, to give folks more time to brew up that last batch, and/or age, etc...

The Bruery just tweeted that they're still looking for some stewards to help out on Saturday. If you're not a judge but you'd like to see how a competition works this would be a good experience for you. Stewards also usually get to taste the best beers at the table without having to taste the bad ones.

There are 176 entries to the competition, so it's pretty good size.

If you're interested, email benjamin@thebruery.com.

I was hoping to judge this one, but family commitments won't allow it.

I emailed Benjamin over there at the bruery and he said they may have overbooked the stewards. But if I show up at 10am they may have something for me to do

Big Hairy Monkey is the leftovers of my contribution to the club barrel aged beer. I bottled the rest of it and I am also planning on entering it in NHC.

I tasted it in the best of show round (it was mostly Bruery people judging, I was just hanging out). It was tasty, nice work Brad. I'm confident that it tastes better than my contribution.

Received the judges score sheets today.
Tough judges.
My "Old Man Winter" strong ale only got a 30 and a 31.
I had a lot of good reviews on this beer. I thought it would do better.
Oh well, try again.

Nice job! That is better than nearly all my scores... it just takes time & practice to inch those up. I'm working on some tweeks to my process in hopes that my next competition will gain a few more points...
