Congrats Dwayne (Strassenfest Results)
Posted: Mon Aug 04, 2008 11:14 am
The homebrew contest was a resounding success! We had 54 entries in the three categories. Steve Dills, Chuck Renner and myself gave the judges from the German Club a break and judged the Dark Beer category. We also judged the three first place winners to pick a 'Best of Show.' All three were very, very good beers. We gave certificates for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each category and a trophy for the Best of Show winner. A big thanks goes out to Joe and John for cooking up a batch of Nut Brown Ale as the judging went on.
The chili cookoff was taking place at the same time in the Beer Garden and I bet there were over 100 people mingling between the two events. After each category was judged, we put the leftover beers on a picnic table for onlookers to try. People could not wait to get their hands on the homebrew!
Congrats to all the winners and I can't wait to do this again next year!
The next Suds Club meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 12th at 7pm at the Schnitz.
See you all then.
