Byggvir's Big Beer Cup wrap-up

In case you haven't seen the results from Byggvir's Big Beer Cup that was judged at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival this past weekend: www.rennfestbeercup.com/2008-winners We had a little over 100 entries, including 7 historic entries. Congratulations to Jonathan Crist for winning "Best Historic". Best of Show was Daniel Wolf's Kolsch. (Daniel sent his entries from Virginia!) First Runner-up was Chris Smith's Weizen/Weissbier. Second Runner-up was William Schmiedlin from Jack of All Brews with a group brewed Extra Special/Strong Bitter. Thanks to the Best of Show judges: Kris England, Mike Miziorko, and Joel Stitzel. We had over 45 people helping out with the contest on site at the Fest over this holiday weekend. I appreciate everyone's help. Thank you. I want to also thank Eric Swann, Mark and Kami Johnson, Joel Stitzel, and Jonathan Crist for getting up on stage and giving brewing demonstrations. We had two demos a day over the three-day weekend! I also want to thank Midwest Supplies for the generous donation of ingredients for the demonstrations and also for the $50 prize for BOS. Big thanks also to Northern Brewer and Still H2O for their donations of gift certificates. We appreciate the support! Most importantly, I want to thank Deb at the Renaissance Festival for allowing us this opportunity. I hope many of you will consider helping out and entering Byggvir's next year.
