Congratulations to all the Falcons winners!  And a giant thank you to the judges and stewards who volunteered their time (a few times in some cases) to get this competition done.  Congrats Ed and other VPs for a job well done!!!

...we placed 1st in the Strong Ale category. We were on the fence about whether to submit it within American Barleywine or American Strong Ale. I owe you some beer because you guys were right. Chris, Shaun, and Ed....Im talking about you!
