Apparently, there is.
So a few weeks ago, emissaries from MD brewing set out to represent at the First Annual Gordon's Wine and Spirits Homebrew Competition, as part of Boston beer week 2010. There were apparently 27 entrants and over 30 brews sampled, of which i drank all. incredble stuff to see/ smell/ taste. Looks like there are some others out there that also brew with exotic spices adjuncts and specific flavor profiles in mind. they will be sought out and systematically destroyed, leaving behind only our wake and a salted earth. Such is our ways.
On a less Mad Max-esque note, the winner of the evening, (producer of both an outstanding belgian IPA and farmhouse ale, both spot on for style + and extra je ne sais quoi) took home a giant 1L Chimay gobblet from which to drink only the finest of brews. A second-place straberry saison, (while not my cup of tea) garnered a full pound of hops, while a black IPA got a golf bag (lame).
A most hearty congrats to our victors and a diatribe upon all those else who stood in our way which were deemed unworthy.
While not sure exactly how The Lawnmower IPA and Churchill's Dry Wit JPA placed, they both received good praise from the judging pannel with adjunct flavors/ aroma well noted and respected for originality. Noice. gives hope to our next arena battles. as for now its back to building of the brewery in hopes of yet greater procrastination.
until next time true believers
