I also did not make it through - I'm excited to try out the top 4 entries at the gala though!

I made it through the first round. That is an accomplishment on its own, since I never brew the style. That being said, I thought it tasted, smelled and looked pretty good.

I'm pleasantly surprised I made it through to round 2, was kind of thinking mine was a bit oxidized so I'm happy that it must have otherwise been alright.

Re: Garrsion Brew Off 2020?
I didnt make the cut either but this being my first competition I'm not surprised. I was hoping to get my judging cards for feedback I hope they send them out because I wont be able to make the gala and feedback was the main reason I entered.

I failed to make the cut too but not surprised as mine was well into DIPA territory! Good luck to the top 10

Re: Garrsion Brew Off 2020?
I also didn’t make it. I’m thoroughly enjoying the beer as an IPA, but it doesn’t have that pillowy mouthfeel that the NEIPA style requires. Definitely learned some things about minimizing oxygen exposure that I’ll use again too.
Good luck to those who did make it through!

Re: Garrsion Brew Off 2020?
Same for me, it was a nice change from my normal brewing, learned a few things and narrowed down a few kinks I can still work on next time. I think dry hopping would be the next stage I try to eliminate oxygen from the equation.mumblecrunch wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 5:00 pmDefinitely learned some things about minimizing oxygen exposure that I’ll use again too.

I was cut like I was in a sword fight. My buddy Robbie made top 10. Christ I gotta stop with the advice and getting him into brewing a few months ago. Student is now the teacher.

Nope didn't make it. A little disappointing since the more people that try it, the more that really like it. Oh well.

Bummer about the Gala...very responsible but still unfortunate.
We made the top 4
