Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3713305, member: 1414"] Most of our breweries around here don’t submit beers. It’s mostly for shelf stable beers, not unpasteurized stuff that has to be refrigerated and consumed fresh. Plus the judges are essentially judging to the official style and many of the best beers don’t fit. For example, until they finally created the NE IPA category, “clarity” was a key requirement of the IPA style. So even 7-8 years ago, Focal Banger couldn’t compete. So you see the results, including Springdale, 3 awards, all for German Style lagers. [/QUOTE]
