Wow, nice work, Brad!

[ArrogantDan]

Damn!!! Congratulations Brad, excellent showing...

[BrewMasterBrad]

Thanks guys. I think I'm still in shock. The best part is, I get to brew the Schwarzbier on their system so it can be served at their tasting room and it will be entered in the Pro-Am competition at GABF.

Did you see your photos on Facebook?
Please post when your Schwarzbier is available in the tasting room so we can make a run out there to try it!
We could have a club gathering to show our support. All of us wearing our shirts of course!

I don't do Facebook. I think they will probably do a release party when the Schwarzbier is ready. Getting everyone out there to show the power of Brewcommune would be awesome.
