This was the first homebrew competition I've entered and I managed 3rd in the specialty category for my oaked vanilla whiskey porter 'Muddy Dumptruck'. I was pretty ecstatic about it overall. Also a little peeved that I didn't read the categories closely enough. I entered the 3 beers I had ready - My hefeweizen moved on to semis, scored well, but didn't place, but the IIPA I had high hopes for scored very poorly because it was oaked. I should have entered it in 22 instead of 14. The overall comments were that it was a great beer, but didn't belong in the Imperial IPA category.
In any event, proud to win something out of the 650 entries in the competition!
