The competition has started. This end of the table was judging India Pale Ale.
The things that are needed for judging. Glass, hand and palate cleansers.
Tasting and scoring beer. A rough job, but someone has to do it.
These guys judge 31 IPA entries. Mike, Walter, Erik, Eric and Brian. Great Job.
At this point about 1/3 of the judging was complete.
The door was opened off and on to let in fresh air. It had to be close when welding was going on next door because it messed with the aroma part of beer judging.
Some of the item available for raffle for those that judged or stewarded the competition. Provided by sponsors.
