Event enjoyed by some.
the Second Bi-Annual or so Worcester Homebrew Competetion was held last Saturday and while I was not able to attend the event, the latest creation was delivered for sample and I've hurd the wurd of how things went. So lemme break it down for ya.
a bit smaller than the inaugural brewoffen with only 6 presenting this time, but no matter, things were scaled as such and epic fun still had. the best wheat/ stout categories were forgone in favor of just a single best in show ranking.
The rumors go as such, Jean et Jacques took the lead prize with an oatmeal/ chocolate stout rich and robust. wish i couldda give my word, but meh i trust the members of the high brew council. Perrenial forrunner Charles Nelson took second with a dunkelweizen i have yet to try though I expect big things considering the subtle and delicate notes he gets out of his well crafted beers. Yours truly nabbed the 3rd slot despite not being there for the properly named Rauchendoppelweizenbocken (Weizenschaaft ist cool!) bier. though by now its basically evolved into a slightly smoked doppelbock style that is kinda cloyingly sweet. not what I was intending, but i guess half wheat just aint enough anymore to cut though a mass of german malt.
so overall reports were good, the stuff will get you drunk and it seems to have done its job nicely.
cant wait for the next whenever it may be. That wooden stanley cup ist mein!
