2009 Mayfaire Competition Results - Follow Up

Not only will I not be receiving decent feedback, as it turns out, I will not be receiving any feedback. Apparently a number of beers in the IPA category, including mine, were not judged. Essentially I sent a bunch of people I don't know free beer and even got to pay for shipping/handling/packaging materials. I'm not thrilled...

A Little More Clarity. But Just a Little.

2009 National Homebrew Competition 1st round (regional) results have finally been released. This lends a little bit of clarity as to how my beers did in the competition.

My top three scores were:

Old Ale - 44
RIS - 43
Cream Ale - 40.5

In looking at the results, each of these was the highest in the various categories Strong Ale (18 entries), Stout (40 entries) and Light Hybrid Beer (33 entries), respectively. That is something I'm quite proud of.

However, it's a shame that I don't know anything else about where they were in terms of flight position, how they did in a mini Best of Show, or even if they advanced to a mini Best of Show.

Better get to work now trying to figure out a way to get into that elusive second round in next year's competition...

2009 Mayfaire Competition Results

I only entered one beer, an Imperial IPA, in this year's Mayfaire Competition. I had zero expectations of placing in the popular IPA category as typical scores from other competitions were in the low 30s. Hopefully I'll get some decent feedback. Congrats to all the winners!
