CBA Update

Okay, so I thought I'd have time to periodically update the old blog in between pouring the beers, but we are following a different format this year and I'm running back and forth between stations to pour the beers, doing four different categories at once.

There are a total of 18 BJCP certified judges sitting three to a table. Lots of interesting chatter is taking place while they are sampling their beers. Some surprises so far, in terms of scores, in my opinion anyway. I'm sampling a bunch of great stuff. There are some great beers produced in this country. I can't name any favourites right now, but there is one from the west that I need more of.

The judging is taking place at the Cool Brewery in Etobicoke in their large banquet room. Perfect conditions for judging. Lots of sunlight, cool temperatures and lots of spacing.

Back later! Gotta get some food in me.

Cheers,
Troy
