The Beer Nut
Winners were announced at the 11th Annual Beehive Brewoff at The Bayou on Sunday.
Landon Jeffery , who took home nine medals, including five gold, beat out 110 other brewers to earn the title of Best Brewer in Utah.
Jeffery, who’s slated to be the brewer when Ogden River Brewing opens early next year, also earned the Best of Show Beer for his Alienator Doppelbock.
For the Best of Show competition, judges whittled down 34 category winners to determine the three medalists.
Lauter Day Brewers , which earned 31 medals (10 golds) was named winningest homebrew club in Utah for 2019.
The 2019 edition of the Beehive Brewoff, an American Homebrewers Association-sanctioned competition, received 417 entries, down about 15% from last year’s record turnout.
