(26) states.>
First Place: Matt Sager of Walnut Creek, CA representing D.O.Z.E. with a
Specialty (23a) beer named "Oatmeal Raison Cookie." This truly was like

Second Place: Victor Macias of Los Angeles, CA representing Pacific
Gravity with a Specialty (23a) beer named "Millefolia Gruit." What a well
balanced combination of herbs and malt.
