Hah! Small world. My buddy Rich T. has been working with several of the Homebrew clubs since he moved to Florida and he was a steward at this event. Congrats on the hardware.
I picked up a third place (out of 70+ entries) at the first round of the 2014 National Homebrew Competition for my IPA. Didn't place at the second round (scored a 34) but will hopefully win one of these days...
if i wasnt eating some fungusly looking things right now that I have the smallest amout of leftovers from which came from a certain guy I know, i would post them up
Dude, did Mike give you some of the Lemon Drop Sauce he made? If he did try using it in a Corona style beer, it was fantastic! I'm going to enjoy yours tonight.
HTH was kind enough to pass off to me a bottle of his award winning American Pale Ale and I can see why he won with it. Super hoppy with just the right amount of carbonation. It was a real pleasure to enjoy your brew brother. Makes me want to get back to it and it went really well with the pulled pork tacos.
