I've already kicked the first keg.  This is definitely going to be my house IPA.

I had to leave before the winner was announced last Saturday. Does anyone happen to remember who brewed beer #12 that we tasted?

That was me.

I'd love to try brewing that one as soon as I get set up for AG. That beer was not only my favorite of the competition but imo one of the best IPA's I've had. I put it up there with Red Racer and Brewdog's Hardcore IPA. I'm really surprised it didn't win.
