First Gold Medal in Pro Competition

[HighVoltageMan!]

I just got the news I won a gold in the US open Championship for my wife’s beer Lynn’s Lager. That’s the same beer that won BOS at the 2025 NHC. I’m glad I wasn’t skunked at this competition.

The funny thing is that I’m in Lisbon Portugal and didn’t know until I started getting texts from brewing friends. I’m so stoked right now!

Sweet man! Never have competed myself

 

[Limey]

Well done - and clearly up against professional competition!

Congrats! I'm planning on brewing your Lynn's recipe in a couple weeks -- but surely not as well!

 

[Yooper]

I saw that somewhere else before here- maybe homebrewtalk(?) or a podcast. Congrats!

It’s actually an easy beer to make, at least easier than a German Pils.

Not completely unexpected Wayne, but congratulations! At least you know you are making (and drinking) some of the best beer on the planet.

 

[Zambi]

Congratulations!

I made your Lynn's last year for the family Octoberfest, the keg went empty in a hurry. Everyone liked it. (Well it was free)

Thanks for the replies! It's hard not to stick my chest, but at least I'll try not to do that.

Thanks, Don. The key to winning is to not let other people drink my crappy beer!

Congratulations Wayne!!!

It's further proof that you really know what you are doing!
I think I know what my next brew will be!
