I was really excited to see this posted by fellow Louisiana beer bloggers. I’m reposting this from BR Beer Scene who reposted it from The Beer Buddha. Very exciting to me who’s already got a half dozen competition entries brewed specifically for aging towards next years Dixie Cup. I have more than enough for this contest as well.
