Wizard of Saaz 2018

The results are in and the statisticians will love them! So there were 332 entries judged and ALL (114, I think places) but about a dozen or so medaled from either the SAAZ or SNOB brew clubs both located within close proximity to each other in the same state, Ohio. Meaning roughly 90% of ALL places went to these 2 clubs. I'm not sure how the Homebrewers Association feels about this, but either these clubs represent some badass amateur brewers within BJCP standards or there was a bunch of "good ole boy-ism"? Reinke's (29A) faired about the same as Suwanee at 27 (with a cracked bottle?), Orange Creamsicle (29B) squeezed out a 28 and PBnJT! (30A) spread it's first showing at 29. Notes on PBnJT! were that of "liquid Reese's cups" but lacking hop profile for Baltic porter. So I made the perfect beer I was intending but got shanked at a 29? It's a 10.6% Imperial peanut butter porter!!! Not real impressed with the ethics on this comp that's why I made sure to link to the results directly for all to see.
