I want to f'n scream my head off but I am at work.
I really need to re-brew this and I'm totally jammed up right now.
Plus, this beer is so damned girly, I might need a new dress and a purse.

Girly? Girly? Is that supposed to be an insult?
Look, I"ll go to the GABF with you, to make you feel better. You can go as my sister! :rockin:
Seriously, good work, That is awesome.

No. Every brewer here would tuck in his junk to have this opportunity.
What recipe was it?
Congratulations! I like girly drinks! Have you posted this recipe yet?

It's this one:

And I promise I will post the recipe soon. I need to re-brew this as a full batch and not a split before I officially post it.
I'm off to celebrate!

That is just so awesome. I hope your full batch works out great and you can duplicate it exactly. Grats!
Awesome. A guy in The WHALES went to GABF with a Special Bitter but it didn't place. It sound like you have something unique enough to catch some attention though. Good luck!

Well done, olllllo. Do you enter just your award winning beer or can you enter others?
OP
OP
In order to qualify to as a Pro Am entry, the beer has to have medaled in the last year. Then you submit that to a local sponsoring brewery to be judged and they may have their own preferences or stipulations.
In this case it was announced that the AB pilot brew experimental beer (see the other post) would be favored if it came down to it. Papago is looking for beers that will widen appeal. They already have their classic styles and some award winners of their own. Plus they also serve 35 more craft taps and dozens of bottled crafts.
According to the email, I won a unanimous decision but a very narrow one. Most of the entries were ASH entries and we have some great brewers. (Better than me!)
And to Bobby's point, it does stand out. I thought there were going to be several entries locally at the GAzBF and so I opted to enter it at a BJCP / AHA sanctioned contest out of our region so that it would stand out.
It turned out to be a risky strategy becasue there were not many local entries, but in the end it paid off.

I would also like to make it known, that I am not the first HBTer to have been bestowed with this honor.
mrbowenz and PirateAle were Pro Am competitors last year.
I might be missing someone else last year as well.
I'm hoping that maybe they will chime in with their experiences.

I learned today that the batch will be brewed sometime in June or July here
http://www.oakcreekpub.com/brewpub/home.php because Papago contracts their beers out to be brewed.
I might have to make a short Sedona vacation out of it.

When I talked to beer geeks about the recipie, they went EEEWWW. So the name was a goof on that.
Also it is very aromatic. Think Eau d' parfume.
Now they all want a bottle.

I'll gladly answer any questions. The beer that was entered in 2008 I went over to brew with the brewery and had a great time. The beer didn't turn out that great, but they don't make many lagers every year.
Just this past weekend I finally got to try the barleywine that was brewed up for 2009. I took a bottle of mine (brewed 12/07) to compare and they were almost identical except mine had more of a dry hop aroma/flavor.
I'm really excited about the barleywine. I hope I'm able to make it out to GABF, but I might not be able to this year. Maybe I'll be able to swing it though.
I was planning on brewing a barleywine every year but I didn't get one last year, so maybe I'll do it every 2 years.
