This list is as accurate as I can quickly assemble. Just a side note, amoung all the beers from around the world that found its way to the Friday night Suite, and the Best of Show was a beer by Ken Quam of Tolna, ND. This beer was not entered in the competition, however it was Ken's first attempt at grain brewing. He MALTED his own barley which came from a North Dakota farmer near Tolna. He did all the research necessary to make this a successful first grain brew. Kudos to Ken, he received many many comments on the beer, it was good. Yahoo!
