National Homebrew Competition

Every year, the American Homebrewer's Association sponsors the biggest beer competion in the world - The National Homebrew Competition will culminate this summer in Oakland, CA. Over 5600 beers were entered last year. This year, there is also an entry off of the Front Porch - a Chocolate Stout recipe I've been brewing for years. This year's batch came in at 9.5% ABV and is quite tasty, if I may be so bold.

My beer has to be in Atlanta, GA by April 8th for first round of regional judging. Final judging takes place in Oakland at the National Hombrewer's Conference. I'm hoping someone I know in that area will leave a light on for me should I make it that far.

So keep an eye out for entry ID 418 in a winner's circle near you! Until then...cheers!
