Jim Tanguay won Best in Show, ahead of 55 entries with his Foreign Extra Stout.

Entries were divided into categories for IPA, Wheat, Stout, Porter, and ‘Other,’ as dictated by the BJCP style guidelines. Judges included reps from Seattle Beer Coalition, BJCP-sanctioned judges, Seattle Weekly editorial staffers, and Alejandro of Big Al’s Brewing.Big Al’s brewed the winning beer, which will be served at Brouwers and Pagliacci Pizza for one month, or until the beer runs out.
