Last Saturday 4 members of HBT here (and also INHBC) along with another home brewer attended the SweetWater Brew Your Cask Off.
SweetWater brewed the beers and gave 75 different contestants 10 gallons of either a porter or a blonde type ale, 10 gal cask and your choice of ingredients. In 3 weeks they'll have contest for the winner. We did a mini-brew (3# DME, Chery extract, Vanilla, and p4ck37p1mp managed to score some bourbon soaked oak chips and I think 1056 yeast for secondary ferm) to add to the porter.
We are Cask #15 if you manage to make it for tasting.
