The 8th Annual WertContest

This year's competition was held on Saturday, March 24th 2007.

The results have been tabulated and collated and enjoyed. There were
many great beers that were entered and we now have winners. If the winners
would now submit their recipes to Jeff Oliver we will call this year's event complete!
