Thanks so much for submitting an entry to the 2015 Garrison Home Brew-Off. This year was a record year with 84 entries! Judging is well on its way and we should know the final 4 very soon. In the meantime I wanted to reach out to you to confirm you will be attending the gala.
As part of your entry fee this year you get one commentary entry to the gala on March 5th doors open at 7pm and the awards ceremony starts at 7:30pm. As you can guess with the number of entries and judges if everyone comes to the gala that will put our room at capacity!
We have started a waiting list for members of the public who wish to purchase a ticket and attend. If you plan on attending the gala please RSVP via email by Monday March 2, 2015 this way we can allow people on the waiting list to purchase a ticket if numbers allow.
We hope to see you there Keith it will be a great night!
Cheers,
Justin Zinck

It was a brewing duo, Graeme/Graham and Dan. I don't believe they are a member of the Brewnosers.redoubt wrote:Congrats! Who was the 4th person in the top?

Re: Garrison Homebrew Comp
Just a note: I was one of the judges for the Final Four, and it was hotly contested! All of the finalist beers were really well made, so it came down to style adherence, and a little bit of judge personal preference. Congrats Dave! Well done to all of the finalists, and everyone who took the time to enter.
I hope the scoresheets are useful, if you have any questions on the ones I filled out, feel free to fire me an email.

Re: Garrison Homebrew Comp
Yea all the beers I sampled last night were great. I can definitely see how it was a good discussion lol. I'm still happy with 3rd, especially after this.
