The results of the NYS Fair competition have been entered into the HOTY data and the results are in. Congratulations to Bruce Franconi of the Hudson Valley Homebrewers! Bruce took an early lead in the competition and held on finishing about 10 points ahead of Caleb Eagan. The NYSHOTY is a difficult competition because it takes results from regional competions all over the state. Different judges and different competitors are providing the feedback. Placing well in the HOTY demonstrates expertise and dedication in homebrewing. Raise a glass and toast our newest NYS Homebrewer of the Year and all the brewers that competed.
