State Fair Homebrew 2008 Competition Results
The Wisconsin State Fair Homebrew Competition, held Saturday, May 17th, was once again a big success. 260 beers and meads were entered, 37 more than last year. The Class winning entries are:
- Best of Show: Edward Mathis, with an Old Ale
- Second Best of Show: Rich Binkowski, with an Irish Red Ale
- Best Pale Beer: Edward Mathis, Roggenbier (German Rye)
- Best Brown Beer: Jeff Trofka, Scottish Light 60/-
- Best Black Beer: Paul Fehrenbach, Dry Stout
- Best Specialty Beer: Scott Schedler, English Brown Ale w/Honey
Congratulations to everyone. The Best of Show winner, Edward Mathis, is a member of the Green Bay Rackers. He also had the 2nd Best of show in 2006 and the Best Black Beer last year so he is on a roll in this competition.
Rich Binkowski, of course, is a member of the Beer Barons. Jeff Trofka is a member of the Green Bay Rackers. Paul Fehrenbach and Scott Schedler did not list a club affiliation.
Ribbons, plaques and cash prizes will be sent out after the State Fair in August.
We had a great group of judges and stewards this year. We had more BJCP judges this year than ever before. We had judges from around the state, and one from Illinois.
A big thanks goes out to all who helped with this event. You can't have a competition without Stewards and Judges, and you guys and girls were great Stewards and Judges. Once again a very special thanks to David Stanton for his great work as Head Steward, keeping all the entries organized.
So start planning your brew schedule to get beers ready for next year's competition.
