A pox on the NHC (National Competition Losers Thread)

[Saboral]

A pox on the National Homebrew Competition, how dare they avert their pallets from my heavenly swill in favor of mere mortal ales. May their goats find no solace and their socks forever effervesce of elderberries!

A pox I say!

In all honesty the other beers were probably better, but never the less, A POX!

Fine they probably had better entries than mine

I had a 45 last year at Big Beers Belgians and Barleywines and didn't make it to the mini BOS! There were 60 some odd beers in that category but still, I hope it was a steward that simply didn't mark it right.
