What, because to allow bottle conditioning brewers into the game would make the kegging elitists look bad? WTF pardon my French but that is just wrong.
Now I have to keg my big Belgian that needs 2-3 months of bottle conditioning, just to try to win some lame contest in Cincinnati?
Sorry kegging elitists, you have crossed the line. I never have, and now never intend to pay for some kegging system. It's a convenience, and a way to look "cool". If I were to suspect that some BJCP judge discriminated on that basis, well, that wouldn't be good. I might have to send them an email with a few harsh anti-kegging rants.
Kegging elitists, ha.
