Hey about 5 months ago I brewed an English IPA (my Hoppy Head Indian IPA)
and I said that I had brewed it to enter in competitions and I was gonna win
with it. Not sure, but as I recall there were a few sharp comments. Well, I
entered it in the Nationals (even though it is an extract recipe). I just
wanted the judge's comments, but guess what happened. I took first place in
my region (sent it into Houston) and there were 25 beers in that catagory.
So it is on to the next level. I don't stand a snowballs chance, but I am
very excited and pleased the judges appreciaded my efforts. It is ashame I
only have about 5 bottles left. :^(

Just Brew It!
Johnny Mc
P.S. Sorry I have not read or posted in a while, new job, long hours...... I
will try to get back into the groove.

if that URL shows up badly you might need to copy and paste each line
into your browser until you have the whole thing.

It's just a groups.google.com search for "Hoppy Head Indian IPA" (with
