First Homebrew Comp!

So I entered three beers into a homebrew competition over the weekend at Uptown Market, Orange Wheat, Imperial "82" IPA and an Oak Stout.  In all there were 26 beers entered into the competition into 7 categories.  My Oak Stout didn't place in the stout category but my Imperial "82" IPA took second (by a measly .5 points) in the IPA category and my Orange Wheat won the wheat category.

The Orange Wheat went onto the best of show competition and took second place overall (this time by a measly 1.5 points).  While I won more bragging rights than anything, It was pretty awesome to see a beer that I created, with hops grown in my yard, do so well against many much more accomplished brewers.

As a tribute to the Orange Wheat, I'm brewing it this weekend again and will be kegging it for the brozone, with a new "award winning" label.

For those of you wondering I won 2 growlers and could fill them with any beer on tap and got my selection of any brewing book from their library of books...

Justice!
