Brain of Brewers Competition Winners
Sep 22, 2010 Beer, Beer & Food, Celebration Worthy, Events
This post has some very special meaning to me – my Fine Husband, Larry Chase, is the brewer for Standing Stone, participated in the Brain of Brewers contest this year, and won Gold for his Hefeweizen AND Bronze for his Amber. He’s been a passionate professional brewer for over 13 years now and this was an extra special reward.
Larry Won Gold and Amber in the 2010 Brain Of Brewers Contest
He was very excited to enter this contest, has long used Lallemand yeast and was thrilled to win 2 medals. Of course being biased and also a big craft beer enthusiast, I was also ecstatic for him!
The gold came with a generous $5000 award as well as a lovely red ribboned actual medal and certificate to display. The $5K will all go towards equipment to keep making great beer even better.
Congratulations to all the winners - well done. And a big thank you to Lallemand for instigating this kind of contest for brewers. Larry tells me Lallemand put on a very tasty and generous spread for the event as well (Sorry I wasn’t able to go with him!).

Cheers to these writers for being recognized for their contribution to the brewing community.
This excerpt seems to sum it up well:
“…exceptional talent writer and his depth of knowledge and passion for beer…”
Passion combined with knowledge is a powerful, purposeful, action provoking and exciting thing for us all.
(W)right on!

Humbling company, that’s one way to describe it.
Last week at the Craft Brewers Conference, some incredible people were recognized amongst their peers for their contributions in different ways. Hats off to them – pints up!
The great thing about many in the industry is that they’re making a daily difference. Plus they’re making great beer. Mmmmmmmm…
How are you making a difference?
