Congrats to Nate Nowak, of the Bluff City Brewers & Connoisseurs, who took 1st place in the “Sours, Belgian Strongs and Strong Ales” category for his Old Ale and 3rd place in the “German Wheat, Rye, Belgian and French Ales” category for his Dark Saison.

In addition, Memphis homebrewer Clark Ortkiese won 2nd place in the “English Browns, Porters and Stouts” category for his Mycastle.

And, yes, if you’re wondering, homebrewing remains illegal in Mississippi.

But the folks at Raise Your Pints, who successfully lobbied the state legislature this year to raise the alcohol-by-weight limit in beer, will be taking on the issue of homebrewing again.

Next year we will again work on legalizing homebrewing in Mississippi. #msleg
