And the winner is…

This past weekend was the judging for the 2019 Nordeast Brewers Alliance Homebrew Competition at our home base of Eastside Neighborhood Services. As our biggest event to date, we unpacked, sorted, and judged 224 beers.

Congratulations to Mike Neville of Motor City Mashers for winning Best Of Show with his Dark Mild! A full list of category winners is available on the competition site.

Best of Show judging is a broad spectrum of colors across all categories

This would not be possible without sponsorship from a wide array of partners! Prizes for judges, stewards, and volunteers was available on-site and gift cards or direct-ship prizes being sent to category winners! Watch for those over the next couple weeks as scoresheet paperwork is finalized and mailed out.
