I received a call as well, so Brewnosers have 3 of the top 4. I think that says a lot about the community here. Cheers!

Anyone have any Brewnosers shirts for sale? Would be awesome if the guys from the club sported some swag.

Re: Garrison Homebrew Comp
The 12 or so that we whittled it down to were all very good beers. I had 5 of them and any one could be the winner, let alone one of the 7 I didn't taste.
There were far less beer a this year that were bad. But there were still a lot if people who could benefit from the learn in offered by our forum.
I also had one wonderful smoked porter - but the competition was not about specialty brews, so if you entered one it had no chance.
The process to get to 4 was done by the people at Garrison - usually the brewer and owners. They are looking for commercial quality beer that they would be happy to
sell under their label. So for those of you (3/4 so far) who made that cut, from 83 entries, know that you can make not just great beer, but beer that is of commercial quality.
Here's hoping the 4th entry is from another Brewnoser who just hasn't posted yet.

Re: Garrison Homebrew Comp
How does one get in touch with the organizer? I haven't received a mail yet for the event, and since I can't be there I'd like to get the feedback.

Congrats especially to the finalists but everyone who submitted an entry; a lot of work goes into selecting and/or developing a recipe, brewing it well, and getting it submitted. It says a lot about the community that our members do so well.
