The 2nd annual Beer, Beer and MoreBeer forum competition has now come to a close.  The competition was fierce and the level of expertise represented was very high.  It was a small competition but had a very high level of competitiveness and some top notch brewers competing for bragging rights.

Not all of the winners posted are DOZE’rs, and this time I am not going to chop them out.  Instead I’ll just share the raw results and say congratulations to all of you!  Special congratulations to Dean Dunivan, who’s English bitter took best of show!  Guess Dean paid attention during my last style talk eh? :)  Seriously, great job Dean, you’ve really kicked it up a notch and are turning out some extremely good beer!
