Indy was a crazy town that weekend. Lots of people in town for several big events.
Tampa would be great this time of year.

Tampa was pretty busy too. The hotels were packed with families going to Busch Gardens.

The downside was that I struck out again.



Yep, me, too. The streak goes to 4 yrs in a row now. Oh well, gotta make time to enter more than one beer next year. Curious to see the scoresheets.

I'd be curious too. Your beer looked awesome. I know you liked it. It can be a crap shoot no doubt.

Some day we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny

Do you mean scoresheets?  Did they list place on them?

I got the form letter the other day saying my entries were judged but it would be about a week before the results would be posted.  That group in Seattle is always on the ball every year...a very well run region for sure.

Scoresheets from Seattle just showed up for me via email. Placement was mentioned in the email, if applicable.

I got a scoresheet for one of mine but not the other... Maybe later today.

Yep, a crap shoot at best sometimes. Obviously you increase your odds by entering more beers. I'm starting to free up more time for brewing, so hopefully I enter the limit next year.

Then start with Lt Lager, 5 entries lol!  I struck out on 2. My Triple made it through, I've never advanced. I swear I could taste oxidation. It is good no doubt, but I can tell it is there. So crap shoot, there ya go.

Scores from Seattle not bad, but nothing going thru.  :(

American Porter 30/29
English Barleywine 34/35
Barrel Aged Barleywine 40/42
Wheatwine 36/36
Bière de Garde 43/44

The Porter was brewed big to go into a whiskey barrel (still in the barrel). This was bottled from what wouldn't fit. I'm still optimistic about barrel version. Maybe next year.  ;)

Those scores are great. I'm sure you were very close.

When you have to score mid 40's to get through, wow!  Note to self, avoid Seattle as an alternate.
