The suspense is killing me.

I may have missed something as well i see that your entry fee gets you tickets to the gala, a t-shirt and a growler. Do you have to pick these up at the brewtique? I drove up from Saint John to drop my entry off and had to catch a flight back in SJ 2 hours later so i never stuck around to ask.

You mean you haven't heard back??
Just kidding.


I heard that they started judging yesterday afternoon. So they must be working their way through the formalities. You know, after they taste mine the rest of the entries will just be a formality.  ;D

Awesome, I hope they provide feedback even if the beer doesn't place.. i'm really curious to see what other people think, most of my home brew is consumed in house :D

I may have dreamt this but wasnt there a meeting planned for Nov 30 at JohnQ where they would be picking the final 5 and giving some feed back?  I swear I read that somewhere but for the life of me cannot find the post.

That was an idea that was tossed around a few months ago, but we dropped it for logistics reasons.

OK,

Apparently everything has been tasted once, I haven't got a final 5 answer yet, but as soon as I do...I will post in the forum.

Hopefully it's soon. I'm in the field and my cell battery is not going to last long!

Just heard from Sean that he can't give me the final 5 names until tomorrow morning.
