We are please to announce the results of the 2011 BUZZ OFF! Congratulations to everyone, and we look
forward to tasting more of your wonderful entries next year!
We will also be sending a $466 donation to Philabundance ($1 per entry), so a big and
hearty thank you to everyone who entered this year! Our donation helps put food on the table
for those in our area who really need it, and we couldn't make this donation without you.
Before you scroll down for the list of winners, please take a moment to visit our fantastic sponsors -- their
generosity and support make competitions like the BUZZ OFF possible, and we appreciate their
support for our competition, and for the homebrew community in general. Huzzah!
Iron Hill not only hosts the BUZZ OFF every year, but also the BUZZ club meetings every month and other homebrewing events.
Their support of homebrewers across the area is well-known and appreciated by all.
We’d like to extend a special thank you to Mike @ Artisan Homebrew for volunteering to be our mail-in location for the BUZZ OFF,
and for hosting the 2010 BUZZ Big Brew. Thanks Mike!
