We were wet, damp, brewin' and chillin' all at this year's Keystone Barrel Championship brew day. This year's BOMB Barrel crew is Rich Sparano, Kevin Harkness, Mike Duprez, Mark Gibble, Adam Ritter, Alex Crowe and Dave Bill. Last year's BOMB Barrel Team placed 2nd in what turned out to be stiff competition, but year we are back and ready to compete for the top prize. The event is comprised of homebrew clubs from around the area. Teams must brew their beer on site and then age it in a Dad's Hat Rye Whiskey barrel provided to the clubs by Keystone Homebrew Supply. Each team then brings a keg of their barrel aged beer to Keystone for the main event the following year. The beer is evaluated by a panel of celebrity judges, who crown the winner of the competition. The BOMB thanks BYOB Homebrew Supplies in Havertown, PA who helped offset our cost of the competition. If you missed last night's meeting...you missed a lot. A few pics from the world premeire of DELCO BEER TALK at the Sterling Pig Brewery. Special thanks to Alex Crowe, Matt Farber, Brian McConnell, Christopher Devito and Tim Downey for helping make this event the success it was.
