Tip of a the pint to the Fredericksburg Brewing Insiders for noting that the results had been posted.
Just a FYI, if you can't make the AHA Conference in Oakland it will be broadcast over at The Brewing Network. Http://www.thebrewingnetwork.com. Plus I believe they will have other broadcast with different brewers, clubs and other notables. Last year I listened in on their broadcast for the award ceremony.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info Edmond. I'm sure many folks will be tuning in to see how the hometown folks do.
