A strike-out here too. Mine is growing on me, I didn't like it initially.

I am also not in the top four, for the fourth year in a row. Oh well, I'll find it a good home.

I got my rejection email, still waiting to hear on JT and Anne though.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

I just got another email from Garrison saying that the FOAD email does indeed apply to all 3 SAAZ entries.
:o I had high hopes for these beers this year. I wouldn't be surprised if brewing cost is a factor in the judging.

I wouldn't be surprised if every single thing other than how the beer tastes is a factor.... :smackhead:

That's why we're doing our own on the 31st.

I had a good chat one time with Daniel about the process and it's completely blind to them. The entries are a number and they only look at the final four names and recipes after they are choosen. When I was dropping off my samples this year he wouldn't come near me, I had to go over and talk to him cause he didn't want to see what my bottles looked like just in case.

That's too bad. I thought we had three pretty solid entries. Really surprised that your solo brew didn't make it in to be honest.

Does anyone know if all 62 entries receive some sort of feedback ?

Unless things have changed, the score sheets for all beers are available for pickup on the 22nd.

That's good to know... I should be in town for the 22nd event, and get to meet some of you fellow beer geeks.

Remember to bring a few of your beers if you have any left, we'd like them for the 31st. I'm still working on how to drop them off.
