Beer and Burger Battle results and are you ready for Sour Fest?

We are pleased to announce the results of the 2014 Beer and Burger Battle that took place on Tuesday, May 13th.  It was a tough call as Schooner Exact, Ninkasi, Boneyard and Almanac all made great burgers, and brought delicious beers to compliment them, but in the end it came down to the numbers. Since it is a Beer and Burger Battle we looked at the totals for both beers poured and burgers ordered, with slightly more weight placed on the burgers.

For the first time in the 5 year history of this event, we have a repeat winner!

1^st  Drew Cluley and the Big Time have done it again with the Sloth Burger.  He won last year with a similar burger, and is always a local favorite.

Figuring out 2^nd through 5^th was not as easy, but after some debate we went with:

2^nd  Ninkasi – who actually sold 2 more burgers than Big Time, but less than half the number of beers (who knew Kim chi was so popular!).

3^rd  Boneyard – sold far and away the most beer, but lagged in burger orders. Were folks scared off by “Top Ramen” in the title of their burger?

4^th  Almanac – everyone loves sours and they were the only brewery to go through a whole 1/6 barrel of one of their beers, but they unfortunately fell behind in burger orders.

5^th  Schooner Exact – a good number of folks ordered their delicious “Smokey & The Bandit” burger, and great selection of beers, but unfortunately just not enough!

It was hard to decide and it was a close competition for sure, we would like to take this opportunity to thank the brewers (competitors) for taking part in the battle, and all of you for attending.
