The results are in from the first round of the National Homebrew Competition and once again TTBC did not make it out of the first round. You may recall that I entered a Belgian Blonde Ale, the recipe for which was my own creation. I was not expecting much, but was really just hoping for some constructive criticism. I was pleased to receive word today that I qualified for the Bronze Award (the lowest award for which you receive a certificate)! The 27/50 I scored this year is much lower than I scored last year (38/50), but I am completely satisfied with this score because it was one of my first homemade recipes.
There were a total of 24 entries in the Belgian Strong Ale category. The highest score was 42 and the lowest was 19.5, with an average of 30.6.
I've decided that I'll revamp this recipe based on the judges comments and try with this beer again next year. Photos of the champ and his blonde will be forthcoming.
Woohoo!
