Another limited entry competition. That's unusual. Only allowed to send 5 entries to this one. Things are winding down.

I really enjoyed it! Non-traditional, with the extra hop character, but it was great. Maybe more Cat 23? Be sure to mark that it is a heavily hopped version of a BW, so the judges can tell it was on purpose.

Re: MontreAlers Ales and Lagers Throwdown 2015
Chalmers, in my experience, is good with picking styles. I've taken his advice on whether something was an IPA or an APA and it paid off. In some of these competitions you can enter a beer in several categories too if you are not sure. Check the rules. I've done that before once.

This says the Awards Ceremony will be Nov 28th, so you've got a couple weeks to stew still!

Re: MontreAlers Ales and Lagers Throwdown 2015
I know these competitions are a lot of work to put on, and i certainly appreciate the work that goes into them but changing the deadline the last week, pushing judging back and delaying the results really puts a damper on this one for me. My beer ended up being there for 3 weeks before judging and i can predict comments of oxidation arriving shortly.

Hahahaha so true! Avoid contact with air while transferring, store beer in a cold place, watch for hot side aeration

Re: MontreAlers Ales and Lagers Throwdown 2015
Nothing is predictable. That's half the fun of it. They have the beers in cold storage, he said on Twitter, so you could be good to go here. You never know whether these competitions keep the beer cold or not. There was one, I swear they kept my beer in the trunk of a car on a hot day or put it in the oven for a bit. If this one does have the beer cold, it might have been an advantage to ship ahead of time and let it settle. Good luck.mcgster wrote:My beer ended up being there for 3 weeks before judging and i can predict comments of oxidation arriving shortly.
