2009 Longshot Entries?

[saq]

All 4 of mine are still pending, mine went off to MoreBeer in Concord CA.

 

[Brewpastor]

I received verification today that my entries have been received and are being lovingly looked after. They are out in Concord as well.

 

[olllllo]

Mine are still pending: Concord.

 

[Brewpastor]

My verification was from Sam Adams (well, from the company, not the patriot/brewer himself.)

 

[saq]

Yay, I got an email from SA that all 4 of my longshot entries have been arrived and cataloged properly!

 

[macabra11]

Does anyone know when we might hear back about our 2009 entries? Receive scorecards? Etc....

 

[Whiskey]

Per the rules they announce around September? So I'd guess around there.

 

[olllllo]

I can tell you right now, that if you didn't enter a tasty Maibock, an Old Ale- devilishly sweet and malty, an Am. Barley Wine- very malty low hop character or a bracing, Bretty lambic then you didn't win.

2 of these 4 won and my money would be on the Maibock and the Old Ale unless SA feels a need to correct the Cranberry Lambic debacle.

How do I know this? Brookston Beer and Beer advocate were tweeting the judging.

Maibock/Helles.

Old Ale

AM BW

I'll also add, that I did not win.

Old Ale, you say, eh? I'd probably be getting excited if I had entered.

Join the crowd.

I should have known better than to enter my Tits-Up since an IIPA was a recent winner.

Still...looking forward to the score sheets.

 

[Saccharomyces]

Can't beat the entry fee. I'll definitely enter again next year!

 

[saq]

Am I being wishful if I think my American Barleywine I entered, The Damned, is the Barleywine in the final 4?

I'd like to get my score sheets back either way, the feedback would be welcome.

I hope they do, that cranberry lambic is garbage.

How did you find this info out?

How did you find this info out?

Found this myself. Sam Adams has finally updated their "winners" page which includes best of class for each region.
Wait a sec, holy ****! My Hopinator IIPA took western regionals IPA category! All I can say is !!!!!

 

[ChshreCat]

I thought about entering until I read the fine print. Did you know they have a line in there that by entering the contest, they now own the rights to your recipe, even if you lose?

 

[saq]

You don't submit the recipe to Sam Adams unless you are one of the finalists. No real problems here

 

[ChshreCat]

Still seemed odd to me. I know my recipes aren't world class or anything, and I'm happy to post 'em on here for free, but it just wierded me out.

And congrats, big time!

 

[saq]

Thanks! Anybody else take best of class?

 

[conpewter]

Congrats Saq! That is awesome.

Congrats that's quite an acomplishment! You were one of about 69 beers chosen out of over 1,300 total! At least you were in the running for the finals.

Outstanding saq!!!!!! :rockin:

 

[saq]

Thanks everyone! Soon as I get my judging sheets back I'll add them to the hopinator recipe page. I wonder if they listed rankings for the BOS runoff...

Most BOS are an elimination of the top beers by comparing them side by side. There isn't another judging that's done like 1st 2nd and 3rd. Just getting to the BOS is an acomplishment in itself.
