The 2013 Beer Dabbler Winter Carnival Homebrew Contest Winners – Presented by Northern Brewer
Thanks again to everyone that entered the 4th Annual Winter Carnival Beer Dabbler Home Brew contest.
Huge thanks go to Northern Brewer, the Nomad World Pub, Stanley’s Northeast Bar Room, and the Republic for their sponsorship. I also would like to thank all the volunteers that helped with judging and stewarding on Saturday—we can’t have fantastic contests like this without all your help!
If you were not able to attend the award announcement on Saturday at the Nomad, your score-sheets (and hopefully medal/prizes) will be sent to you later this week. We had 116 entries, which were put into 12 categories.
There were many very nice beers entered and I hope you all will consider entering and helping out at future contests. Congratulations to all the winners and thanks again!
