Philly Beer Geek, 2010--Semifinals
Welcome to the semifinal round of Keystone Homebrew Supply's Philly Beer Geek 2010 photo page. Details about the event are available at the Philly Beer Geek Web site.

Judges seated, ready to deliberate. (Sober as a judge?)

The contestants, in random order:

Andrew Pope.

Mike Lessa.

Daniel Berlin.

April Reynolds.

Mike Gretz.

Steve Hawk.

Jessi Black.

Jenny Hobbs.

Karin Suzadail.

Katherine Stewart

First came the triva rounds.

Then questions drilled down on each contestant . . .

. . . to the amusement of all.

Contestant Kate converses with former Philly Beer Geek Judge Suzanne Woods while Jason Harris and Carolyn Smagalski pour the tasting tests.

Tasting test to see if contestants could distinguish between . . .

. . . an ale and a lager. All correctly identified the difference.

Carolyn introduces the next stage . . .

. . . to eager contestants . . .

. . . although some may have been worried.

Finally, the semi-final winners are announced . . .

Anticipation is high . . .

Great sports all around.

And the winners were: Daniel Berlin (about to get a high-five from super-sport April), Mike Gretz, Jessi Black, Katherine Stewart, Mike Lessa, and..., and..., (wait for it...) Steve Hawk.

A couple of familiar faces . . .

Friends and family were there to congratulate.

Thrilling merch!
