Tom
Roan & Nancy Bowser Win President of Beers
Fargo
homebrewers Tom Roan and Nancy Bowser were invited to send in
a homebrew to Willamette Weekly’s ‘President of
Beer’ competition. |
 |
|
This
competition was created by this Portland Oregon website as a
battle between the 50 flagship commercial beers from
each state. Well North Dakota does not have a full
brewery operating within the state at the time of the
competition so they asked some homebrewers.
Well
Tom and Nancy sent in some bottles of Beaverbear
Barleywine and Willamette Weekly got a panel of judges
together and did a blind tasting scoring all 50 beers and the
one on top, was Tom and Nancy’s barleywine, beating out some
very well known commercial beers from the other
states. Minnesota’s representative was Summit EPA and
it got 39th place. Page1
