2009 Big Beers Festival - Belgians and Barleywines

Congratulations to Mike Pedersen, one of my fellow brewing buddies! Mikey lived in Cincinnati for a long time before picking up and moving to Boulder, Colorado. It was after he moved that I discovered that he was heavily into homebrewing and making some kick-a** beers left and right.

We've stayed in touch over the years and he has just won Best of Show at the Tenth Annual Big Beers Festival in Vail, Colorado ! http://www.bigbeersfestival.com/belgians_barleywines_winners.htm

This is huge because as a grand prize his winning beer recipe will be commercially brewed at Dry Dock Brewing Company http://drydockbrewing.com/ and put on tap at The Falling Rock Taphouse in Denver and at the sponsoring brewery, Dry Dock Brewing, located in Aurora, Colorado. Absolutely incredible!

This is the only picture I found. . . I'll get more photos of him soon and repost.

Congrats again Mikey!
