Recently, I entered my dopplebock into the homebrew competition at Granite City Brewery. It was the first time running a homebrew comp, and apparently it was a huge hit.
A few weeks after the competition, I still hadn't recieved any judging score sheets. I was a little concerned about it because I spent a lot of time on the beer and felt like it was definately in the running for a ribbon. Now, obviously everyone thinks that about their beer, but I'm usually highly critical of my beer.
Anyways... I just found out that somehow, my beer wasn't entered into the competition. The guy who emailed me said they had twice the amount of entries they expected and because of it, they had a few mishaps. My beer was turned in a day before the deadline, but I guess it never made it to the contest. He's offered me a few free beers at granite city, which is good of them, but I don't know if it's enough.
First off, I don't like Granite Cities brews. Second, with all the effort I put into this batch (specifically for the contest), I feel that my beer is worth more than theirs. What if I HAD won? That's a chance to brew your beer at the brewery and $50 a month for a year towards granite city food/beer.
I feel like I was robbed of one of my children.
Anyone else feel that their beer is worth more than this?
