The Friday Question
Friday, April 23rd, 2010
Wow, Westy 12 is a much sought after beer! We received a record number of submissions for this one, covering a huge range of answers but there can only be one winner! Much as I wanted it to be Mark’s answer of 666 lbs it wasn’t. I’ve been sitting here with my brew log and calculator and have just finished adding it all together (and even with the aid of a calculator, my brain hurts … of course that could be something to do with the night of 100 taps at Max’s last night!) anyway the answer is …. drum roll …. 344.75 lbs which makes Rick Z the winner with his guess of 350 lbs. Congratulations sir, the Beer Gods smile upon you! I guess if you ever wanted proof that I don’t brew double IPAs, there it is!
Well, there’s no way that I can top a prize like that but I think this weeks is pretty cool. As you may be aware, it’s almost time for the Brewers Association of Maryland’s Springfest at The Harry Grove Stadium in Frederick. Ticket details can be found at
All of your fave local breweries will be there with an awesome array of beer, including casks so this week I will be giving 2 tickets to the winner of the Friday Question. OK, it’s no Westy 12 I know, but a good time is guaranteed (sort of, barring acts of God etc.) Staying on the hop theme, of those 344.75 lbs of hops that we’ve used, how many pounds were Kent Goldings? As usual, please submit your answer via the comment section below. In the case of a tie the first correct answer posted wins it, judges decision is final etc.
Don’t forget that tomorrow is the City Paper’s beer festival in Fells Point, see you there.
cheers
