As my beer nears commercial launch in 2013, I decided to enter wha
t is likely my last official homebrewers competition. The 10th annual Brewmaster Open, sponsered by the Brewmasters of Alpharetta homebrew club, is one of the states largest and most formidable competitions. And I was most interested to see how our launch recipe, A Night In Brussels IPA, would fare in the always competitive Belgian Specialty category. A silver medal and the judges comments gave further affirmation of the market possibilities of this uniquely crafted American/Belgian-style IPA. While not a part of our launch New Monastic series of beers, Hoplicity, my American imperial IPA took home a silver as well in it's category. It too has a future with Three Taverns, but not in the early seasons while I focus on perfecting our Belgian-style (albeit with a twist) series of beers. I hope this news further wets your appetite for the launch of Three Taverns in May of 2013. Keep checking our posts and facebook updates as the design and build-out of the brewery accelerates in the next few months. Cheers and Transcendo Mediocris!
