First-place ribbon went to Patrick Yun and Curt Meyers of Roscoe, IL representing the Forest City Brewers with a Strong Scotch Ale (9E) named Blootered Bamport
Second-place ribboon went to Robert Wiegers of Wichita, KS representing the Wichita Homebrewers Organization with an Irish Red Ale (9D) called Red Headed German
And the third-place ribbon went to Jim Chaney of Steubenville, OH representing T.R.A.S.H. with a Scottish Export 80 Ale (9C)
We really enjoyed ourselves at the Comp. and thanks to all the fine brewers that sent in entries, cheers Mike Porter
