Another great result for Back Nine Brewing with Fork and Brewer and Wellington Chocolate Factory with V For Vincotto at the New Zealand Stout Challenge ๐๐ป
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT MADE TODAY THE BIGGEST STOUT CHALLENGE EVER!!!
Congratulations to newcomers No.19 Brewing who took home the coveted road cone for "Judge's Choice"! Followed VERY closely by a THREE way tie between Beer Baroness, Fork & Brewer and Gambit!
And congratulations to Gambit for winning "People's Choice"! It was a VERY tight race in this one as well, with Urbanaut in second place and the Christchurch Homebrew Association in 3rd.
Thank you to all the brewers who took part - It's always our favourite day of the year! Even a stunning blue sky 3 degree Christchurch day at opening time didn't dampen the spirits of those waiting at the doors this morning ๐ป
