I have a personal disdain for pickle beer. Several years ago I entered a HB Schwarzbier in a beer competition. It was sponsored by the Homebrew Hut HBS in the Denver metro area (Aurora). It’s called the Rocky Mountain Homebrew Challenge. They share a building with Drydock Brewing Co. The best of show winner gets their recipe brewed by Drydock and their beer on tap for a month in the taproom.
My Schwarzbier won 1st in its category and went to the BOS competition. I took second place overall and missed the chance for my beer to be served in Denver… I got beat by a pickle beer!!!
