I've got a very nice oaked sour brown ale that is bottle conditioned with sour cherry concentrate. I'd like to send it to competition, but there are quite a few categories I'm considering.
Flanders Brown - Eh, maybe not sweet enough and if they pick up too much cherry, might get nicked.
Oak Aged - The oak is very subtle and I think they'd consider the sourness a detriment.
Fruit Beer - Probably not going to compete well against the raspberry wheats and porters. I doubt the judges at this table would appreciate sour..
Specialty? Probably the most flooded hit or miss category in the whole lot but probably most appropriate.
Any ideas? Where would you put RR Supplication?
