Any of these boners HBT members?

Hmm... funny. No hoppy beers won this year. I think the competition was rigged!

What do you mean no hoppy beers won? You clearly just didnt read the whole thing.
"All four will join us at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver where we’ll announce which beer will join Mike McDole’s Double IPA in the 2009 LongShot® variety pack."
Pretty sure that IIPA will be hoppy.

I always see Aaron Schenk winning the NC and SC club homebrew comps I entered.

Or it could be that, with the hop crisis, SA doesn't want to have another Tasty McDole incident on their hands...

Can't wait!! The last pair was pretty interesting. Can't say they were my favorite beers, but worth trying and pretty unique.

That's what I was implying.

I cannot wait to try Tasty's IIPA; Its going to be the closest I will be able to get to a Pliny on the East Coast.

Yeah, well, we'll see...when the hop shortage subsides in a few years, hopefully SA will still brew it.

Say, why don't YOU just brew it? There's a pliny clone in the BYO clone issue.

I was under the impression that SA was going to be brewing it for this year's six pack, was I wrong?

Man, ol' Jonathan Plise has to feel a little ripped off. Half of the SF finalists were his. For such a dopey radio persona, the dude seems to make excellent beer.

They're bottling pliny now. Just have someone send you one!

Tasty's IIPA, http://www.maltosefalcons.com/recipes/20060504.php, which will be in the six pack finally.

 

[aekdbbop]

holy jebus.. 34oz of hops?

 

[brewmeone]

Well... I guess that means I didn't win! Hahaha.

Not that I even expected to come close... I submitted an extract + grains kit beer... just for the hell of it. I'm definitely looking forward to the judges' feedback though...
