Ive had similar experiences. Some beers have been left in the fridge, tucked in the corner, maybe for months. When you get around to drinking them,
they are amazing.
So, i was able to enter my beer on time & was in. I shipped my beer (UPS) on time on Feb 2...going from SC to the Vegas receiving point. I was tracking my shipment the entire way. Remember, this time period was when the first big snow storm hit the Midwest & my shipment got delayed in...
I may look into those later this year..I'm curious to see how my beer performs at this comp...then I will make decisions on my next few brews. Good luck to you!...we must circle back to this thread with our results...that would be cool.
