We don’t care if we win or medal - we just want dang good scores.” Utah Homebrewers: Finalists “We really want to find out what others think about it. “Every competition we ever do, we just put it in for the scores,” says Dave Anderson.

Its Rocket Surgeon Summer Ale not only advanced to the final round, but it beat out 246 other beers in the English Pale Ale category to earn the top prize.
