Garrison Homebrew Comp
Has anyone heard which style the Homebrew comp will be this year? I want to start brewing a few test batches.

Brian had hinted last year that it might be something dark.

Re: Garrison Homebrew Comp
They have done the dark lager before so I'm hoping for a stout or a porter. I'd love it if it was an RIS.

Re: Garrison Homebrew Comp
It would have to be announced pretty early to get a decent RIS wouldn't it? My last two aged at Least 6 months before they hit their peak

Re: Garrison Homebrew Comp
Can't imagine they would pick an RIS. No doubt aging would benifit but I've made ones very drinkable in less than 6 months. Propeller has a RIS and Porter so I'm guessing they will not choose those styles. My guess is a lower gravity stout of some sort.dexter wrote:It would have to be announced pretty early to get a decent RIS wouldn't it? My last two aged at Least 6 months before they hit their peak

Re: Garrison Homebrew Comp
I'd be guessing something along the lines of an ESB, or possibly a mild. Time will tell.

They should give us the following years style at the brew off. That way we can get more prep time.

Re: Garrison Homebrew Comp
I'm excited and can't wait to get started. Does anyone know if they have any examples of this style at any of the private liquor stores in Halifax? I'm pretty sure there aren't any examples at the NSLC.

Re: Garrison Homebrew Comp
Finally a style I'm into.
Good luck boys and girls! These comps are extremely difficult to say the least, with about 70 entries.
And yes, very challenging. I've done the last two of these with varying results. Both times I put my heart and soul into my brew but haven't placed yet. Last year I messed it up bad, lol.

Re: Garrison Homebrew Comp
Can't believe I'm just about to keg my first attempt at this very style! What are the odds? I guess I'll have a reference point anyway to try to improve upon before the new year.

Re: Garrison Homebrew Comp
I look forward to giving this style a shot too!
I can't think of any commercial examples of robust porters that stood out in my mind.. any thoughts on a great commercial example of this style?
I think the only porter at the liquor stores here is fullers.

I just bought a London Porter from Fullers and a English-style Porter (made with maple syrup) by Rickards here in NL
