Sorry for the delay, but I was also working on the Fall Tasting, and FoBAB was the previous week. This has been a very busy period in the local beer world. Scoresheets WILL be mailed this week.

Seemed to go off without a hitch - except for Ron winning Spooky/Scary again....

This is because we only had a few entries in Category 22. Other categories that were combined: Cats 1-2 as Light Lagers; Cats 3-5 as Amber and Dark Lagers; Cats 6-7 as Light & Amber Hybrids; Cats 17 and 20 as Fruit and Sour Beers; Cats 24-26, all Meads; Cats 27-28 all Ciders and Perries. Combining categories is quite common in homebrew competitions, especially when there are fewer entries. Because we had over 300 entries this year we did not have to combine categories as much as in the past. In fact, last year (123 entries) we had five fewer award categories than this year (304). By the way, Wood-Aged beers were not included in category 22 until the 2004 BJCP guidelines and normally would have been judged as Specialty beers.
