And the winner is …
The entries are in, the votes are tallied...and Mark Stinnet's BBB Original Stout is the winner of our first annual New Year's Homebrew Recipe competition! The combination of flaked and roasted barley and heavy hop content had our crack team of judges drooling, and although all of the entries looked pretty tantalizing, this thick stout seemed the perfect choice for a cold Ohio winter. Honorable mentions go to Jay Wince for his Big Chocolate Porter, and Scott Novak's Winter Solstice Ale; both welcome and interesting additions to our small but growing library of quality, original homebrew recipes. The three of you can stop in at the store to collect your winnings: the ingredients to the BBB Original Stout!
