It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: Garrison Home Brew off 2017
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

Re: Garrison Home Brew off 2017
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.

Re: Garrison Home Brew off 2017
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.
