The following beer recipe is featured in the January/February 2007 issue of Zymurgy magazine. Access this issue along with the archives with Zymurgy Online!

Nate Levengood has been brewing beer at home for the better part of the last decade and was excited when he got to team up with Millersburg Brewing Company (Ohio) to brew this Sweet Cream Stout with toasted coconuts.

There were 91 beers judged in the 2016 Great American Beer Festival (GABF) Pro-Am Competition, each having humble beginnings in a kitchen, garage, or back patio. Each beer is an award winner before it even arrives to Denver, having already medaled at a Beer Judge Certification Program/AHA-sanctioned competition and been chosen by a professional brewer for the GABF competition.

Only three of the 91 are dubbed GABF medal winners, but the other 88 are excellent as well. We talked to a few of the non-medal winners about their experiences with the GABF Pro-Am competition and garnered a few recipes in the process. Here is one of them. Enjoy.
