A contest!?

[Goodwin 1st MRB]

A brewer friend of mine, who has been brewing for years (closing on 8 years I think) came over tonight and had a few brews with me. His was delicious! He tried my newcastle clone and said it was good....

Then he asked for a bottle of my Smoked Porter...

My Smoked Porter was something I've considered a bit of a failure up until now. It was a bit too heavily smoked for my liking, and as he pointed out is missing a bit of malt backbone to stand up against the smoke. However, he also said it was very good and I should enter it into competition.

What do you guys think? I've never entered a competition - would be interesting..

Wouldn't hurt. Even if you lose, you'll still probably have a ton of fun.

A Brewing Competition is kinda like a Chili Competition, even if you go, and you don't win, you still get to walk around and try samples .

get to walk around and try them and also get ur name out there. maybey end up with some who really likes it and wants to buy it like a scout for football. and it will be a blast.
