Stanley Steamer took 1st place for Amber Hybrids.

Reed Brewing's Stanley Steamer, a California Common style lager, took 1st place in the Amber Hybrid category at the Buzz Off Homebrew competition in Downingtown Pennsylvania. There were 589 total entries, 8 of which were in the Amber Hybrid category. Stanley Steamer was also the only entry West of the Mississippi to place.

I guess I will probably be doing this one again!
