I want to take a moment to thank everyone who entered and who volunteered the 8th Annual Byggvir's Big Beer Cup at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. We had almost 300 entries entered by over 100 different brewers. There were over 70 volunteers who made this contest happen. Congratulations to all those who won medals! I hope to see you next year!

P.S. The website will show the winner list later today and we will be sending out emails to all those who entered. I will be mailing out score sheets (and hopefully medals and prizes) over the next couple of weeks.
