Whooo! Yesterday I won Barrel House Z's Launch Pad Homebrew competition that was hosted by my homebrew club.
Barrel House Z ( http://www.barrelhousez.net/), soon to open in Weymouth MA, is the idea of Russ Heissner who was Harpoon's original brewer and a partnership with Harpoon and Bully Boy Distillers. Harpoon will brew the wort and ship it to BHZ where it will be fermented and then aged in various spirit barrels.
With the win, I get to brew a batch of my Amber Ale on the pilot system at BHZ and chose the style of barrel to age it in. Then through a Kickstarter campaign, if I get people to buy a certain level of the beer, BHZ will make a full production run of it and it will be sold at Craft Beer Cellars in Mass! I will also be doing tastings of the beer at various locations in Boston and on South Shore of Mass.
But even more crazy, I also get a trip to GABF where the beer will be BHZ's one and only entry!
