For those who've yet to hear, Sam Adam's is hosting a homebrew Competition.

The winning recipe will be distributed nation wide by Sam Adams in 2007.

Think they'd be open to braggot? I'm not about to enter anything, but it would be a feather in mead's cap to win this thing, or at least place in the finals.

I'm pretty sure that they have that competition every year.\
There is always next year for a braggot. I really don't see why they wouldn't go for a braggot, except for the probably prohibitive cost mass production would be for the honey.

Hey Kace,

Honey (like most things) is cheaper by the tanker then the pound, that being said, making braggot shouldn't be cost prohibitive. Where they want to go as a company would more likely be the stumbling block for the mazer.

I have nearly to 20 gallons of braggot from 4 batches put up, but wouldn't think of entering any of it before the end of this year early next.

For shits and giggles, I may enter one next year.
