Life is not a competition, but sometimes it is good to win. I got lucky in 2017 and came second with my Stout entry. That drove me to improve my brewing. I brewed with other Homebrewers and professional brewers. I read books and worked on the technique. In 2019, I decided to temporarily stop competing and focus on the product. In 2021 I published two articles on beer in Zymurgy magazine. In 2022 I resumed competing but in 2023 I stopped again to pursue other things. My winning beers were judged to the National Guild standards. I've entered more mainstream competitions (usually BJCP standards) and I usually get good scores, but I need to level up to win places - the quality of home brew is extremely high.
