Here are some pictures from the rally

My copilot for the drive down


Setting up in the keg tent, lot of cool setups




The board, we also got handouts - 1st went to #19, 2nd to #37 and 3rd to #15 which I thought was one of the best, besides my own, my top choice was #21


I was number 39


The bottle setup


I grabbed a duck burrito and pretzel before it got underway

Mitch, Kesley (last years winner) and Ken (the winner of the first event)

Nice pics, Scott. That was a pretty cool event with some nice beers; number 39 included. I think there were some other factors that went into the winner selection, but still a neat way to select a pro-am brewer. Too bad a burrito was $12.

[ScottK]

That brat was good, but not $12 good. Thanks for taking those pics. I didn't even think to do that. And a tip for attending Stone: Don't bring in plastic water bottles unless you feel like being hassled!
