Word has it that it's close to 60 beers entered :cheers:
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. 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.

That's big competition for 3 styles. Great to see all the support and interest in this from competitors, organizers, judges, helpers and Big Spruce itself.

It was a great day / night, as expected when you put a bunch of brewers in a room. Mark - I think you made the right decision!

Looking at my sheets. Lot of effort and detail in them and they are very well done. Thanks Brian, Adam, John and Angeline. Overall score for my RIPA was 40.5 and Alt 35. That's the kind of range I like my beers to be in. Cheers.

I missed the style a bit with the Alt.

Thanks also to the stewards for all the work.

:cheers2:
