November Meeting Results

We had quite a crowd at this month's meeting.  Nine people.  We sampled APA and IPAs from Virginia.  The contestants were Center of the Universe’s Ray Ray’s Pale Ale (can), Devil’s Backbone’s Bravo Four Point Session IPA (can), and Parkway’s Get Bent Mountain IPA (bottle).  The winner was Center of the Universe’s Ray Ray’s Pale Ale.  The votes were very polar.  Ray Ray's and Bravo Four Point received mostly 1s and 3s, with Ray Ray's getting more 1s than 3s.  This allowed Get Bent Mountain to slide into second place.  However, keep in mind that many of the voters don't care for hoppy beers and the one with the lowest IBUs won.  The IBUs are as follows:  Ray Ray's 42, Bravo Four Point 45, and Get Bent Mountain 67.
