Yard's Old Bart Firkin Challenge! at Hulmeville Inn
January 5, 2010 from 7pm to 9pm
The Hulmeville Inn is one of the few bars debuting a firkin of Yard Old Bart Barleywine,and we've been challenged! On Tues 1/5 @ 7 pm - We need your help!
The last time the Yards crew brought a firkin to Hulmeville Inn it was kicked in 45 minutes.…
I was gonna go, but as I type this I got my wife bitching at me. So I don't think I'm gonna make it.
I'm gonna do whatever I can to make it. Lookin' good so far.

You said that you bottled only 11…
What I think is funny is that the judges told me that I needed to tone down the hops on my Belgian IPA.
And while I know it happens, still gotta complain a little...One of my entries scored a 38.5 and didn't manage to place. I know it happens, but…
Well, congrats to Christian and Jeff. Good job guys. I didn't place with anything, so I'm looking foward to seeing my scoresheets.
I really can't tell you what I think about the judging untill I get my scoresheets back. All I can say Christian, is…
