Bottles of home brew lined up for judging.

Last night at a TOP SECRET location in Dunwoody 30+ home brews where tasted, rated, and enjoyed by an elite team of beer connoisseurs. Beers were categorized and tasted in group format to get an average score for each home brew. My judging buddy and I evaluated two separate style groups of beers; Amber/Brown and Sweet Stout/Russian Imperial Stout. Each beer was evaluated by comparing it to its particular style guidelines. Judging categories included Aroma, Appearance, Flavor, Mouthfeel, and Overall Impression. Thankfully all the entries that I was assigned were very well crafted and mostly enjoyable. The winners will be announced this weekend at the Heritage Sandy Springs Brew Fest and the “Best of Show” winner will get to brew their creation at Red Brick and their beer will be served at the brewery.
