NHC 2017

[rcubed1]

Indy results are posted and several sites are pending. I shipped to Denver so I still have a long time to wait for results.

Any else here enter this year?

Five entries in the New York regional. Judging was this past weekend, so supposedly results will be posted in about a week, which I think normally means more like two weeks.

I think there is a new competition director so hopefully they are quicker this year. Of course that is always dependent on the site committee having their **** together as well.

Always such a small field.

You planning on heading to Minneapolis for the finals?

Yup, had way too much fun in Baltimore to not go again this year. I'm going to drink all the Surly while I'm out there. All of it.

More results posted, anyone pick up medals?

My first 50 score sheet! Watch, it'll score a 26 in the second round.

Congrats man, that's awesome. What beer was it?

Thanks! Flanders Red with Montmorency cherries. Between that, and the plum "lambic" scoring a 46, I'm guessing the sour homebrew game isn't so strong in the south east region... The twist to all this is that now that I'm a professional brewer, I likely wont be able to go to the homebrew conference to see if either beer places.

I know pro brewers who have won at NHC finals. As long as you brewed these beers away from your commercial operation it should not be a problem.

Totally. What I meant is my day job being so busy will likely keep me from making it out there for the conference.

 

[axeman91821]

Is anybody going out for the conference in June?

 

[rcubed1]

A 1st and two 2nds for me in Denver. I'll take it!

 

[rcubed1]

No final round medal for me this year but back to back club of the year wins!

Took gold in strong ales with my English Barleywine.

Awesome! Congrats! Now with you and dgthrasher , TB has two NHC gold medal winners with an EBW.

Neither of my sours placed. So much for that 50pt scoresheet in the first round...

My little club in Katy, TX won the Gambrinus Award. Totally shocked everyone, hope it encourages people to brew more, become judges etc...
