This year's competition took place on Saturday, March 19th 2005. It was a great success and a lot of fun. There were 88 entries from 27 brewers and all of them were tasty (or so I was told). EHG guru Kevin Zaychuk acted at Chief Judge--and Craig Zubris from Calgary judged with us....ask what they thought...small yes--fun yes.

Here are this years' results:
