Here’s the winner of the first ever Highland Cup, a homebrew competition sponsored by Highland Brewing of Ashvegas. Highland will make the winning homebrewer’s beer later this year:

Congratulations to Aaron Schenk! Best Of Show First Place Winner with his Cream Ale. The winning Cream Ale will be available in Asheville in August. Keep tuned to our website www.highlandbrewing.com for updates.

Second Place Best of Show went to Alex Buerckholtz for his Centennial Stout. Third Place Best of Show went to Aaron Schenk, also for his Dusseldorf Ale. These were all excellent ales. It was a hard choice I am sure for our judges.

Thank you for entering The Highland Cup. Next year’s competition will be on February 21, 2009. The restrictions will be posted soon.
