I certainly feel like I could use some validation right now and getting 1st place on my "flagship" beer is doing the trick.

I did very well on all my beers. Look for me to take a few ribbons next year. Out of 8 score sheets (2 per beer I entered) I only scored lower than 30pts on one of them. For reference 21-29 equals "good," 30-37 equals "very good," 37-44 equals excellent and 45-50 is outstanding.

I got vastly different scores on my Porter. One was 30, the other was 44. The 44 would have easily won me 1st place in the category and came from professional brewer Kevin Templin of Red Rock Brewing Company. The 30 came from a non-certified judge.

These beers and many more are available once a month FOR FREE at my monthly poker game. I'd say they are worth the price of admission. That said, I don't make a dime off my poker games. I don't take a rake, I don't charge a fee and I'm not even very good at poker. If you haven't been you are missing out!
 
Gameface do you ever go to Utes Football games? We could use someone like you on our tailgating "team".

Apologize right now for all your previous Gameface beer bashing. I'm not even a drinker myself, but first place is first place.

The funny thing is that the beer everyone at the poker game likes, my Kristalweizen, was by far my worst scored beer. I brew it as a crowd pleaser and as that it is a success. It is my simplest and cheapest beer. It is also the beer most like a Bud Light, go figure. My wife's grandmother's sister had this reaction at the last family reunion: "Ohh, this is good. It tastes just like a Michelob." When she saw the horror on my face she said, "I really like Michelob."

He failed to mention that his was the only beer in that category.

I can't remember the exact number, but it was well over 12 entered in that specific category. The Beehive Brew Off attracted just short of 200 brewers and had 593 entries.

LMAO! Do you have anything that tastes like Milwaukee's Best?
 
Nice work, GF! I can't stand the taste of beer unless it's the fruity kind (such a girl, I know). Can I request some sort of peach flavored beer? Thanks much. :D

If it gets you to a poker game, I'm sure he'd brew you up whatever you wanted. (and by "brew" I meant "feel".)

It would be possible to entice me.

I'll take that as a yes! If you like hanging out grilling food and drinking, you will love it.

How much effort goes into brewing? Seems like probably alot.

Feel free to come even if you don't want to brew.

Don't do it, Gameface, don't you ****ing dare. The second you become a Ute fan is the second that I stop taking it easy on you and your friends.

You're invited too Trout. Actually, I dare you to come to the Utah byu game. Probly don't want to be around that many Ute fans after another blowout loss for the cougs tho.
 
So your name is Jared Young. Any relation to Bring'em?

Congrats! Nice job.

Do you like dark beers or light better? How do yours look.

My favorite beer is Guinness. mmmm. So good.

I'm not going to sugar coat this, I hate beer with fruit or fruit flavoring.

That said, saying you can't stand the taste of beer is almost like saying you can't stand the taste of food. There are so many varieties of beer, but very few of them are represented at the grocery store. Corona, Dos Equis, Budweiser, Michelob and Red Stripe are all the exact same style of beer. It's like when you see the timeline for planet Earth and you see that Human existence is barely a sliver on the edge of a long, long, long, evolution of life on this planet. That's similar to the ratio adjunct lagers have to all the other flavors of beer. I'd try to get your hands on a good porter or stout. Contrary to popular belief, those are fairly popular girl beers. Also try to seek out a sour. They aren't very popular or well known, but Epic is actually a world-class producer of great sours and other Belgian beer styles. Try their "Brainless (tm)" beers. I don't like them, but I believe they are very highly regarded. They even have a few fruit flavored offerings in that line.
 
I'd love to come to your all-guy sausage fest, but I'll be in the comforts of my own home watching my Cougs put another *** raping on you sinners. Right after the game, I'm going to jump on eBay and buy some worthless crap with all of the money you clowns are going to be giving me.

Carona and Budweiser might be in the same style, but one is like drinking water and the other is like drinking a gym sock that has been worn by the center of a college football team all season long without being washed, and then used to clean a baby's blowout diaper. Seriously, I'd rather drink my own bathwater than a Carona.
