Dortmunder made it through in St. Louis. Got some bottles in cold storage from original batch and already rebrewed it as well… So, we shall see which is the best option when the time arrives.
Congrats to the others and good luck to those still waiting.
Im the Nashville Site Coordinator, Nashville is done, AHA just has to verify a few categories I believe. I hope to have the scoresheets out Monday. We had over a half dozen BJCP judges cancel out at the last minute so it took is us a little longer to get finished than we had hoped.
It’s fun advancing until you have to sit there, at the banquet or listening to the BN, every year, waiting for your name to be called only for someone else to be called for first place. :-\
This is the fourth year in a row I’ve advanced something (and two last year). The last 3 years, the beers have gone to mini-BOS at Nationals. No purple banded medals in my house though. :'( Dang. So close every time.
Last year was my first entering NHC and I had two advance to finals. I didn’t win, but when I got my scoresheets back, the cover sheet for my kolsch said “honorable mention.” Not that HM is an official thing for NHC, but that’s a 4th place in my book. At least for last year, I feel your pain!
If you win a medal I will be cheering for you. If your name goes up on the screen, let us know later how long it takes for it to sink in, and say hey that’s me! ;D
