So I went to the fair today to see if I won anything. Nothing was posted online and there was no other notification, so we decided to go and check it out anyways. Here's me looking pretty sharp at the display:
So I start looking through all of the bottles on display and I find:
My vienna lager, which I submitted under the Oktoberfest catagory tied for 3rd place!
I keep looking and see...
My kolsch which was bottled with my new counter pressure filler from the keg. 3rd place! Looking some more...
It's my Rye IPA! Which also just happens to be the 07.07.07 recipe, Brewpastor's Rye IPA, also 3rd place. An finally I find...
My Old Helicon Barleywine 2006, which was brewed in December of '06 won 2nd place!
That was one of the beers that I hoped would do well.
Overall I am completely happy at the results. Four ribbons with five beers submitted!
I didn't really intend any of these beers to be for competition. When the deadline rolled around to submit, I just looked through my stash and picked some of what I thought were the best. Now the pressure is on. Now I have to brew something with the intent of going to competition.
