agreed. LAB by far has the WORST beer in town compared to highland, pisgah, wedge, french broad, etc. maybe the other breweries just failed to enter the contest?

How on earth does this happen? I have yet to find anyone that doesn't think that LAB's beers are inferior to Pisgah, Green Man, and especially Wedge. Yet LAB has won some awards twice now?

They must be entering different beer in these competitions than what they serve there daily.
