Home Brewer of the Year 2002 Points

We had the judging for the first competition in the BOTY 2002 Series at the BJCP Study Group at Dave's on Sunday, the 13th. This contest was on Specialty, Historical, and Experimental (Category 24 combined with an Open Competition. This made it much like judging a Best of Show Round. Interesting experience for our new judges. You don't often get to judge Best of Show till you reach National ranking.

December - Specialty, Historical, and Experimental (Category 24) and Open

1st Place - Mark's Cabernet Pyment Mead
2nd Place - Richard F's Traditional Orange Blossom Mead
3rd Place - Wayne's Scottish Export Ale
