The event is conducted in a blind format competition with judges ranking the order of the top three beers within a category.
Old Schoolhouse Brewery won a gold medal for the Hooligan Stout in the American Stout category and a gold medal for Uncle Big’s Brown in the Brown Porter category.
Old Schoolhouse Brewery won a gold medal last year for the Hooligan Stout at the same competition. Uncle Big’s Brown received international recognition at the Denver International Beer Competition held last month in Colorado.

Brewers Blog 6/3/2011
Lots of cool stuff going on the past couple of months. We are ramping up for a busy summer and I have been brewing beer like crazy. Our spring seasonal on tap is our ESB, which is my interpretation of the English style Extra Special Bitter. I really tried to stay true to the style by using all UK origin malted barley and UK hop varieties. Of course I added a couple of my own signature twists to make the beer my own. Overall I am very pleased with how the inaugural ESB batch turned out. I characterize the ESB with mellow bitterness(30-35 IBU), smooth and creamy, with a complex malt profile, nice soft hop finish, and a beautiful mahogany color. The ESB is a change from most of our hoppy offerings. Feedback from the customers has been very positive.
Brewing a batch of Ruud Awakening IPA this morning. Special thanks to my dad for making some much needed Amarillo hop pellets appear out of thin air. Looking forward to using some of those bad boys in this batch. Wish I could keep rambling on but it is time to go and clean a fermenter. Thanks again to all the beer lovers that make it possible for me to keep on brewing.
