Got an email this morning, didn't make the cut for top 10. Good luck to all those who did. Gonna drop some oak in my keg to kick things up a notch :cheers:

Mine didn't make it either!

I went way low on the carb (which I like in this one), it's too sweet for my liking, and there was touch of burnt sugar from overdoing the boildown of the first runnings.

I'm interested to see what the judges take away from that. If my criticisms of my own beer are inline with the unbiased opinion of others then it's valuable to me.

I scored very very high in last comp and didn't place but I'm always expecting the worse.

*I have no idea if what I'm about to say is accurate - it's for sure a guess*

I think the gala is next week, so I bet they'll do the 2nd round of judging (done by garrison employees) this week or maybe even on the weekend and make the announcement at the start of next week.

The organization seemed a little bit more scattered this year, so maybe just delayed in sending it out even? You could see if Jonathan knows anything (he organized the initial judging day).

They used to let everyone know the Monday before the event.
"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.
