Vivant and Huzzah to Baroness Sorcha Crowe and Lord Seamus MacWhellan who
tied for first place in the Hundred Gallon Challenge for 2012. They each
came very close to the mark at 85 gallons each. Lord Seamus also brewed a
fifty gallon batch of beer at James River Brewing Company!

Second place goes to the household of Baron Siegfried and Baroness
Francesca of Highland Foorde with 65 gallons.
Third place goes to myself with 55 gallons.

I'd like to issue another Challenge this year. For 2013, however, there
will a prize!  I'll offer up one of my big 7-gallon carboys to the first
person or household to hit the 100 gallon mark. The only "rule" is that the
brew must fall under the American Home Brewers Act (it must be a fermented
beverage brewed in your home).

Now stop mucking about on e-mail and get brewing!

Contra Sobrietatum Peregrinus!
