Wow! It was a great competition with 138 entries, which we broke into 13 groups for judging. Best-of-show went to Phil Sullivan of Royal Oak, MI for his Kölsch-style beer, named Krolsch. Phil will have the opportunity to brew it on the 7-barrel system at Arbor Brewing. I look forward to tasting it on draft at the brewpub.
Congratulations to all the winners. One of our winners took a first place with the 4th beer she had ever made, and some of our winners are familiar faces who have brewed 100s of beers. The rain held off for the awards ceremony, which we celebrated in the beer garden. The full list of winners is below the break.
