Entering for the first time this year. Got my first choice (Indy), with a British brown that has no prayer of advancing due to me intending on making the caramel flavor too strong.
I debating on shooting for two entries, but since my Irish red is a little high on gravity, I decided not to. I kind of wish I had gone ahead and done it for the laughs.
For some reason, the email ended up in my spam. This is my first time entering any contest outside our co-op brewery
does anyone know if you can use glass bottles with a breweries logo embedded in the glass like Sam Adams? I thought I saved some bottles for the competition but the only ones I have left for certain beers are in sam adams bottles.
They should be fine.
I’m only entering two this year because I don’t have a lot to choose from right now. Probably an American Barleywine and German Pils.
Well sounding good for me so far. No one else entering a 28C so mines a shoe in!

Has anyone ever taken both first and last place in a category with the same beer?
Not yet but I’m game.
Should I have received an email letting me know where to drop or ship my beers? I asked for NY or Philadelphia.
The e-mails started going out…however they said it would be over a few days. Might want to check your spam folder too, just in case it went there.
Jim, are you judging in Seattle? I’m planning on it.
I wish. As it stands I can’t get the time off.
I look forward to seeing you there!

Judging? Well, due to the dates and locations intersecting with the plans to visit family, I’m signed up to judge Indianapolis, Tampa, and Austin. Mrs R will steward those.
Sending some beers to St Louis.
17a British Strong
13c English Porter
21b American Stout
22c American Barleywine
Wow, that’s a serious itinerary. My stuff is going to Indy (obviously) so we’ll so I do this year.
We have judged and stewarded the Indy/Zanesville first round for years. We need to see Susan’s uncle in Florida, and we are going on a road trip to TX to see her brother. It all works out.
First time in the NHC. I have two entries going in:
20B - American Stout
18A - Blonde Ale
would love to make it out of the first round but not really expecting to make the cut. will be a total surprise if I do.
Thanks for your service. Why I enter this one, feedback comes from judges like yourself.
I’m still waiting for an email letting me know if I got in. The email says by the 15th.
