Tom Roan & Nancy Bowser Win President of Beers 

Fargo homebrewers Tom Roan and Nancy Bowser were invited to send in a homebrew to Willamette Weekly’s ‘President of Beer’ competition.  

This competition was created by this Portland Oregon website as a battle between the 50 flagship commercial beers from each state.  Well North Dakota does not have a full brewery operating within the state at the time of the competition so they asked some homebrewers.

Well Tom and Nancy sent in some bottles of Beaverbear Barleywine and Willamette Weekly got a panel of judges together and did a blind tasting scoring all 50 beers and the one on top, was Tom and Nancy’s barleywine, beating out some very well known commercial beers from the other states.  Minnesota’s representative was Summit EPA and it got 39th place.  Page1 Page2

Vince Rokke's Munich Helles Wins Gold at the 2011 National Homebrew Competition

PHC member Vince Rokke, won a Gold Medal with his Munich Helles at the 2011 AHA National Homebrew Competition in Category 1 - Light Lagers.  He was also 1st Runner Up for Homebrewer for the year.  Only a single beer beat him out in this competition of 6996 entries.

At the 2010 National Homebrewers Conference, Brewing TV did some filming at Club Night.  Dave Trautmann of the PHC is featured in the static picture for the episode (right) and you can see the PHC table for Club Night and the 'Wheel of Beer' at around the 20:15 point in the episode and President Tony Huseby a bit later pouring his own beer and tasting.  They got to pull their own Ordinary Bitter off the beer engine and they liked it so much that they asked for Nancy and Tom's recipe to be include on their site.

At the 2010 AHA National Homebrewers Conference in Minneapolis, James and Steve recorded Basic Brewing Radio live and interviewed PHC members on several topics along with tasting some of our beers and a mead.
