How about that! I got an email from Corey at Transplants telling me that the stout won best in show. My immediate thought was "why didn't the dunkel win?" The blonde placed third in category. I still have no idea how they actually scored since I have yet to get the score sheets back.
The coolest thing about winning is that I get to make a beer with Transplants. My first thought was to make a Scottish 80 but that got shot down real fast as something that won't sell. So I thought Helles would probably sell and threw that out. I remember Tastey McDole talking about fruit beer and indicated that stone fruit went real well with light lagers due to the sulfur complementing the stone fruit. So I threw that out there and Transplants got on board. It will be their first lager. I'm happy they were willing to do something different for them with me. Looking forward to it!!!
