Here’s how the competition shaped up… Six members of the staff at Nocterra judged the competition in 2 Rounds.
Round 1, every beer had 2 judges. The top 10 went to round 2.
The 6 of us tasted all the top 10 in round 2 and selected the top 3 and gave them a score from all 6 of us.
FIRST PLACE – 2020-21 BRAUMEISTER PADDLE
Steve Madsen
German Pils – Category 5D
Scoring: 47/50
SECOND PLACE
Keith Wedinger
Rauchbier – Category 6B
Scoring: 45/50
THIRD PLACE
Nick DeFrancisco
Blueberry Cobbler Sour – Category 28C
Scoring: 42/50
Congrats to all who entered! It was a fun competition, even though it was a virtual event this year. Looking forward to more competitions in the upcoming year!
CHEERS!

CONGRATS to Steve Madsen, and Keith Wedinger! Nice work, fellas!
WOOHOO! My first time on the podium. Maybe I do know what I’m doing. 😆
Seriously, time to scale that up and bring a proper 5 gallon batch.
