Computer Science && Ninkasi

[aaronbeach]

I suspect this has been identified before? From what I've read Paul Sangster, Gordon Strong and Jamil Zainasheff are all computer science / software engineers. Soooo... the last 5 and at least 6 of the last 8 Ninkasi awards have been won by computer science / software engineers...

It's been almost 6 years since a non-computer geek won the Ninkasi!

Hacking to change judge scores! Oh noes! Shut down the mainframe!

I see what you did there with the title, nice subtle nod to programming.

Jamil did write the NHC software, just sayin'.

Seriously though, you have guys who have the capacity to understand some technical stuff, a little bit of free time, a little bit of money, a certain kind of personality.

Most Ninkasi winners have done some sort of technical work. I don't think Gordon Strong is a programmer per se.

right - I don't know what Strong actually does - just says he's CS in his book
I wonder how many people would pick up on the && (either both are true or the statement isn't)

I didn't even notice the second & and had to go back and read the title 3 times more.
