We had a great time with the Oregon Heart of the Valley Homebrewer’s for their the 27th annual competition again this year. The turnout was very impressive and our atrium was full of brewer’s and their families. Congratulations to Thomas Anderson, Best of Show winner with his “Wee Nessy” Strong Scotch Ale! Check out all the results of the OHF Homebrew Competition Results.

Special shout out to Josh Gum, personal friend of yours truly, who placed 3rd in Specialty Beer with his unique Black IPA called “I Love This Black IPA!”

Give a shout out to your friends and their finish below in the comments!
