Congratulations to all the NTHBA Bluebonnet award winners. It is great to be a part of a club that has won NTHBA Bluebonnet Homebrew Club of the year for the second year in a row. You guys rock.

Thanks to the Bluebonnet using Twitter this year, I am able to post what I believe is a complete list of NTHBA winners. My apologies if I overlooked anyone. By my count we picked up 25 awards including 2nd place Best of Show for beer and 9 steins. It was a tough fight for club of the year but we edged out Jeff Oberlin...er, the Bay Area Mashtronauts to keep the trophy here! Those guys are obviously serious again this year so we will have to keep it up if we want the Lone Star Circuit trophy.
