From their individual judging sessions, four beer were short listed for Best in Show, and then the judges evaluated these four together to declare a finishing order for first, second, and third place in the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without further ado, here are the winning entries!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>1st place: Entry #5, an American Brown Ale by Benjamin Hussey<\/li><li>2nd place: Entry #9, an American Amber Ale by Ryan McCarthy<\/li><li>3rd place: Entry #18, an American Amber Ale by Andre Reichel and Wally Meade<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The judges noted that the top beer in the competition were all very close, making their job quite challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Results and scoresheets have been posted to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/competition.newfermenters.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">competition website<\/a>.  If you entered a beer, to get your scoresheet(s), login to your account on the website.
