I am in the Army and stationed here. I am originally from Kansas. I just recently started doing competitions, and this seemed like a pretty cool and big event to enter. Little pricey to ship though.
Congrats! My IIPA took a Bronze and my Cider got a Gold. My Belgian Golden scored really well too but didn't place. The competition in that category must have been fierce.
Ive been brewing for just under a year and a half and recently steped to All grain.. One of my first beers i did as AG was the Russian imperial stout that i entered into the compitition. I didnt place but i did recieve a 37.5 score for it. I extremely happy with the score i recieved!!
I will post it in the next day or so, or this weekend. It was kinda funny, I made this beer with a bunch of ingredients that I had on hand that wanted to use up before I deploy. I didn't think it would turn out that great, but it did.
