As usual, the June meeting was our in-house club competition, The Chief Paleface And Ale Competition. And, as usual, John Watson took Best Of Show. But he had some serious competition this year, with outstanding entries by a number of brewers. Mara’s Brett Saison and Dan’s Dry-Hopped Strong Saison were right behind John’s Helles. It was very close.
Judging requires a full stomach. So we enjoyed a pot-luck dinner along with all the outstanding homebrews. Yahoos sure can cook. An excellent night all around.
Well, not quite. We got some sad news that night. It was member Dan Cole’s last Yahoos meeting. He’s leaving our fair state for a new job in Virginia. Dan, we wish you well, but we’ll miss you!
Tasting notes below. Sorry, I know they are a mess. I indicated brewers’ names and which moved on to the BOS round as best I could.
