All the entries, hopefully, made it to their shipping and dropoff locations yesterday. We're collecting them today, and tomorrow is sorting day. Our staff is working to assign styles to judging tables, and tomorrow, over 500 bottles of b**r get rearranged into matching sets of table-based judging and Best of Show boxes.

Our first judging session starts immediately after sorting, and sessions continue all week. Saturday is the big day - final judging sessions, Best of Show, and awards!

Thanks to all our hopeful entrants, our awesome sponsors, our thoughtful judges, our dedicated volunteers, and to Church Street Brewing Company for hosting.
