2008 Doug King Memorial Lager and Specialty Beer Competition
(AHA and BJCP Sanctioned)
Sponsored by The Maltose Falcons Homebrewing Society

   In it's fifthyear, the DKM brought it solid again! This year we had our largest field of draft entries ever. I hope to see this continues. Our farthest travelling winner came in from Allentown, PA this year!Not too shabby. Hopefully we can keep doing Doug proud. Many thanks to the judges and stewards who took their Saturday and put down their thoughts and observations on the entries.
