Community Brew Winner Announced

This year’s Community Brew is all about the IBA. That’s India Brown Ale. Here’s a note posted on the Zoo City Zymurgists web site talking about the best beers and winner Mike Hoffer.

Here are the results from head brewer, Matt Long:

A record 38 entries were submitted, but we were able to come up with a judging format that did not fatigue our palates.

We had 9 beers make it to the final table:

Rick Dahlen Beer #1
Rick Dahlen Beer #3
Colin Christiansen Golden Nugget
Mike Hoffer Barnacle Bill’s
Mike Hoffer Whole Lot of Mischief
Bill Ruediger #1
Ruediger #4
Mike Nielsen IBA (1)
Nick McClure

The best 4 of those were:

Dahlen #1
Ruediger #1
Nielsen
Hoffer Whole Lot of Mischief

And the winner goes to:

Mike Hoffer Whole Lot of Mischief!

Mike’s beer best represented what we though an IBA should be.  A very nice malty presence with a unique hop explosion on the finish.

We have the beginning of a dynasty here as Mike was the winner of the 2nd annual Community brew.  Congratulations to Mike.

Yeah, congratulations Mike!

Prost,

GG
