Happy Holidays everyone! On December 3rd, the Treehouse Brewing Club held their annual Holiday Homebrew Competition at Crabtree Brewing Company. Here are the highlights.There were 13 beers entered into the competition. These beers were split into two flights for judging: Regular holiday ales and Spiced Holiday Ales. Members of the clubs judged each category and the top 2 beers in each flight were then moved onto the finals where a small panel of judges did the final winning selections.
The overall winner this year was Dennis Swingler and his Winter Warmer Stout. Congrats Dennis! He takes home the traveling trophy. Display it proud!
