Everyone was asking how we did. I can say that 4 of my brews did get 4th place in their categories. Too bad there were only prizes for Gold, Silver and Bronze, I guess I got Aluminum or Tin.
the Highlights were
Mannion Lite 4th place with 26.5 points in the American Lager Category
Bossong's Steamed 4th with a 28.5 in the California Common Category
Bossong's Bitter 4th place with a 21.5 in the Strong Bitter Category
Mjolinor (Thor's Hammer) 4th place with a 30.5 in the Meade Category
Soaring Eagle 5th place with a 20.5 in the Specialty Brew Category
Winter Warlock 5th place with a 26 ,
John and Helen's Pumpkin Pie Ale 6th place with a 25.5 in the Winter/Christmas Specialty Category
I must say that I learned a lot and will compete in the future. I now know what the judges are looking for , and what they dislike...
The Buzzards are a great group of people and I am glad I now know them hopefully I will join their group in the future!
