Tag Archives: Winning!

Our February brew — a clone of Oliver Ales 3 Lions strong brown ale — came off pretty well. So well that we swept the top spots in CRABS/Oliver Ales Clone Wars Comp; with Kevin Berry's winning closed ferment all-grain version, and Greg Slack's second place closed ferment extract version.

Kevin wins a gift certificate to Pratt St. Ale House, a sixtel of 3 Lions Ale, a brew day with Steve Jones — head brewer at Oliver Ales, and last but not least, the awesome tap handle trophy in the picture!

Greg won a growler of 3 Lions, and a gift certificate to Pratt St. Ale House.

This is a big achievement for Baltibrew. It's also proof that extract brews can compete head-to-head with all-grain brews. Greg started brewing about a year ago, hosted our first big extract brew at his house, and has progressed from a relative newbie to having a three keg system, and moving up to all-grain brewing after our workday this Sunday. This is a great success for Greg, and a great success for the club and its mission of helping people with an interest in beer become great brewers.

Let's keep up the good work, Baltibrewers!
