Steinfest Challenge

Took a trip to Milwaukee for the 2019 Germanfest. We had entered into the Steinfest Challenge Homebrew contest. A German styles only contest.
Didn’t win anything but did at least make it to the mini bos. Was our first time entering this event, but we already know we are going to doing it next year already.

Keep your calenders open for next year

The Beet Saga

The beet Saison was released this past Friday at Copper State Brewing. 


For this Wort challenge, Copper State made a huge batch of wort, then the local homebrewers were each given enough to make a 5 gallon batch. We could do anything or add anything to the wort to make our beer, Then 4 weeks later the local pro brewers picked the best of the bunch. The winning recipe was to be made and served at Copper State Brewing

My beet Saison was picked as the winner!
I got to go to Copper State and brew it on their system a few weeks ago.  It was fun to get to brew something on a bigger scale, and work on pro equipment.

I had not had a chance to get down there and check on it before it was released, so I was just as surprised at how it turned out as everyone else.

It was just as good as the first small batch! If you can get down there, let me know what you think of it…. Cheers!
