Another Florida Home Brew Competition season concluded this past weekend with the Best Florida Beer Homebrew competition awards ceremony.
During the eight local circuit competitions, 2622 beers were judged, and 908 medals were awarded to 210 brewers from 58 clubs nationwide!
The bar was set earlier with Brewers Anonymous in Orlando, FL, winning the Coconut Cup with a 62-point win, two best-of-show winners, and two heavy medal brewer recipients.
Brewers Anonymous managed to maintain a significant lead throughout the season, with Cowford Ale Sharing Klub in Jacksonville, FL, mounting a colossal catch-up effort midway into the season.
