First of all I have been homebrewing for about 25 years
Over those years though I have only entered about 10 competitions
I'll usually enter 2, 4 or maybe six beers and I have always gotten a ribbon or medal. Last month I entered a relatively large competition with over 300 entries. This time I entered eight beers all of which I thought could have gotten a gold medal. I have won two Silvers and a bronze at the Aha's At the current time I have an investor and a restauranteur who both think my beers are good enough to open a brew pub and are willing to invest 25 to 50,000 $. But right now I'm really bummed because I got completely blank at this last big competition. How do I get past this? I know competitions are completely subjective, but I'm just really feeling down right now. My partners in this venture are going to want to know how I did. I'm not afraid to tell them I'm just embarrassed. What advice could you give me?
