Heavy Finger at the Kona Hombrew Comp 2013

Well, we entered our all new Blonde Ale in the competition this year at Kona. We have brewed it a few times and made a few adjustments but it is definitely a work in progress. A very good beer, I am not used to making such a light beer and it is a whole new area for me. I love stout & porter but I actually do enjoy drinking the "Whimpy Willie" as it is called. Brewed in the memory of our lost brewing partner, Chad Albin Troberg A.K.A. "Willie", the whole Willie series are a bunch of great beers. Dead Willie, Big Willie, Willies Cousin Willie, and of course Whimpy Willie. Willies cousin Willie got a silver at the Kona Competition in 2012. This year, Whimpy Willie didn't bring in any medal but the judges seemed to like it. Mahalo to the +Kona Beer Festival Homebrew Contest for putting together the competition and a special congratulations to my friend Diki Short who got best of show with his Jaboticaba Mead "Jaboticaba Jamboree #419", Nice work Diki!
