• Our judges: Steve Raimondi, Jason McClellan, Rich Loomis and Bryon Turner - thanks for your dedication!
• To the CT Beer Trail for your continued support!!

Congratulations to our FINALISTS!!  The FINAL ROUND will be held on Thursday, October 25th @ 6pm.  While Rounds 1 & 2 were open to all styles, this round will consist of a Fruit/Vegetable style ONLY.  We will be in touch with our finalists on the specifics of this style based on BJCP Guidelines.
