Yes folks results are in and the judges decision is final,
The club members judged the beers on the night according to the "loose" BJCP styles they were entered under all with an underlying "smoked tinge". There were a few entries which raised the eyes of the stewards with unorthodox brewing techniques such as "Dry Malting" and "nano micro" batch sizes to brew a style primarily based on an ingredient which was only supplied in a small quantity. We also saw hopping regimes that ranged from throw it all in at the beginning of boil and hope it settles down by judging, to throw it all in at end of boil and see what aroma we get from Super Alpha to the restrained "can I get away with one pellet of Super Alpha and NZ Hallertauer so I can use all the Styrians". Overall everyone embraced theme and that was to do the best they could with the ingredients provided and for the amount of ingredient kits handed out 4 months previously we managed to get over 80% back as submitted entries, fantastic job guys.
Our guest judge was asked to judge the beers not so much as to specific style guidelines but to judge each on its merit and who best interpreted the Ironbrewer theme. His comments sum things up pretty well:
"There were some very good beers in there. I saw a lot of very good brewing talent and some very good judgment and restraint. The worst were drinkable and the best, sublime"
So without further ado I present the results. Overall the West Coast Iron Brewer for 2007 by people choice was our agent provocateur now weekend warrior Vlad the Pale Aler who it would appear does happen to know a thing or two about beer :blink:

You didn't do too shabby yourself there Matt especially as a newcomer, actually I remember a few years back Vlad came along to his 1st WCB meeting / compeititon and cleaned us all up with a belgian pale ale.
