Congratulations to Gary Foster! His 70/- Heavy wins it with a 43/50 score! Gary has placed 5 or 6 times with his Scottish Schillings this year, all Golds and Silvers. I don’t know the exact number, but I know he is kicking some serious ass. Well done! Thanks to Jason, Chris, and James of B3 for taking their time to taste the beers, and to JJ and Morgan at EJ Phair for setting up the competition.

Those of you at last night’s meeting got the exciting news that B3 has offered to provide a free 5 gallon extract kit of your choice to be brewed at the Big Brew this Sunday. To get your free extract kit, stop by the MoreBeer showroom and register with Jon. Please have your 2006 membership card on hand (or you can pay your dues on the spot). The kit must be brewed on Sunday at the Big Brew.
