That’s awesome. Congrats. You will have to bring some of the winning beer to the brew club meeting for sampling if you have any left.

Lee,
Awesome!!! See I told you that was some kick ass beer! Now the question is, if they brew it will they be able to come close to yours? If so, it will be far and away the best beer they've ever had on tap.

My Munich Helles took 1st place in the Light Lagers category. Looks like I'll be drinking a lot of Granite City beer in the next year... |

They won't be brewing my beer. I won one of their "subcategories", but did not take Best In Show. They're going to be making an American Barley Wine as their Summer Seasonal, although their brewmaster admitted he didn't think it could be done in time so it might become a Winter Seasonal.
I'll bring a bottle of it to the meeting this week. If it weren't such a pain in the ass to brew (gigantic yeast starter), I would have made 5 gallons for the Beerfest last weekend. |

Thats awesome, I was invited out to judge for that comp and really wanted to attend that one since they were close by, and I do love the DM area for great beer. Plus they paid for you travel..which is rare.
Congrats again, I was keeping up with the judging and they have I believe almost 400 entries so you were up against a decent size force.
Looking forward to that barleywine they will be brewing

Are these results posted somewhere? The Granite City page hasn't been updated yet.

Sorry, I saw it was facebook and I'm not on there. Most stuff I get links to it won't let me see unless I sign up. That one worked though.
It looks like it ended up being an interesting comp. I can't believe GC is going to brew a barley wine. That should be interesting to say the least.

Thanks, but this fact has me doubting the competition a bit. I find the beer nearly undrinkable due to an astringent bitterness in the aftertaste. Maybe that only docked it a couple of points in the judges eyes. Too bad feedback won't be available. I'll bring a bottle of the Sore Loser to this week's meeting, in addition to the Helles, and let you guys decide. |

I don’t mean to ruin the mood of your entry but if your in doubt I often have to remind confused contestants that you can win with a rather weak beer assuming its better than the rest. You don’t have to have a great beer to win, just hope for lots of bad beer your up against .. haha.
Either way you usually just get a medal.. at least you get lots of free beer.
