Results from Concordia's Imperial Fest

I have a list of the 13 mystery imperial beers in my pocket. Tune in at 2:30 to find out which beer was which, and assuming I can get a hold of Brittany, which beer received the most votes.


EDIT: 3:30pm Brittany called to inform me that the blind tasting and voting will continue until Sunday (or until the taps blow) so you'll have to remain in suspense until then. Sorry to get your hopes up. The sooner ya'll get down there and empty the kegs, the sooner I can release the results.

EDIT: Tue Aug. 1, 2006 5:00pm:

I'm still waiting to hear the results of the voting, but I'll post the list for anyone who can't stand the suspense:

#1 - Terminal Gravity - "San Diego Style" IPA
#2 - Buttle Creek - Revolution X Imperial IPA
#3 - Mt. Hood - Imperial Ice Axe
#4 - Rogue - Imperial IPA (I squared)
#5 - Hale's - Aftermath Imperial IPA
#6 - Walking Man - Homo Erectus
#7 - Lagunitas - Maximus (Cask)
#8 - Laurelwood - Deranger Red Imperial (aged for 1 year)
#9 - Pike Brewing - Imperial Brown
#10 - Walking Man - JayWalker Imperial Stout
#11 - Lucky Lab -Imperial Common
#12 - --- (this was supposed to be a beer from 21st Amendment, but it failed to arrive)
#13 - Lagunitas - B3K (5 year aged Strong Ale)

Check back soon for the results of the voting...


EDIT: Thurs. Aug. 3, 2006 6:30pm

I spoke to Brittany and got the results.

Third Place: Lagunitas - B3K
Second Place: Rogue - I2PA
and the winner, by ONE vote: Terminal Gravity - "San Diego Style" IPA

She also mentioned that 3 or 4 of the imperial IPAs are still flowing, and they've also got Brasserie d'Achouffe's La Gnomette and Urthel Hop-it on tap. If you love hops you should be at Concordia right now...

Her one complaint (if you could call it that) was that very few people actually voted. The place was packed and lots of people were buying flights of samples, but apparently a large number of you forgot to pick a favorite, so there weren't as many ballots as they would have liked. Please, remember to vote next time.

In case anyone cares, I couldn't narrow it down to one choice, but my favorite IPAs were #1 and #4.
