The Best of Brooklyn Homebrew Competition

on Saturday Feb. 7, 1998

at the Brooklyn Brewery

79 North 11th St., Brooklyn, NY

We did it! It's over! Thank God! Congratulations to the whole club for pulling off a difficult task.

The contest worked and was a success because our members were involved. I am extremely thankfulthat everyone pitched in so generously. We are fortunate to have such enthusiastic members!

We ended up judging 261 entries, which was about 100 more than most of us expected. MBAS members made up 41% of the entries and 35.5% of the winners, plus the 2nd best of show. NYC area entrants won the first, second & third best of show.
