Parkway Pro-Am

Great results from the Parkway Pro-Am competition with golds for Halley's Comet and Meatsitck Smoked Porter, plus Meatstick was picked as one of the "Best to Brew" beers.  So a bigger batch will be brewed at the Station U-Brew in the next few months and it will be on draft at one of the Parkway Tavern Pro-Am events on either June 27th or October 24th!!  

I want to thank everyone who participated in the 2012 Parkway Am-Pro Homebrew Competition.  I want to send a special thanks out to the Parkway and it's staff for helping us put on this great event.  I also want to thank all the judges who came down on Sunday and helped judge the 75 entries. Your time and expertise is much appreciated.

And now for the results...
