    there was. All the Chicago brewing entries had to undergo additional levels of difficulties in creating their entries with stricter pandemic restrictions and repeated looting.

    Disappointed by the lack of Greatest Teachable Moments in this thread.

    The Illinois Craft Beer Guild is awesome. I reached out about receiving two identical packages. They responded super quick and are sending a replacement six pack to a location closer to my house.

    Major props to ICBG!

    I got one too. It's kind of cool to have a bottle of the Best in Show, but I've only had cider a handful of times and don't know that I'd appreciate what makes a really good one.

    I cracked open a Chamomile & Elderflower Gin BA Joon yesterday, and it honestly reminded me of Greatest Teachable Moments.

    Was not a big fan, I imagine this won a bronze because it stood out in the crowd, but it was way too floral verging on cleaning solution just like GTM.
