Congratulations To Shawna Cormier – 2016 Beer Drinker Of The Year

Unfortunately the BDoY title did not find it’s way back to North Carolina for 2016. The title went to Shawna Cormier for her wit and personality. She will be a great local ambassador for Wynkoop and one person commented the evening was the most entertaining competition to date. Cheers to Shawna and congratulations on being crowned 2016 Beer Drinker of the Year!

Please Attend The Beer Drinker Of The Year Finals October 5 In Denver!

If you are are Denver for the GABF next week please attend the Beer Drinker of the Year finals at Wynkoop on Wednesday. We need an overflow crowd for the event to help ensure it happens year after year. The competition is 7:45-9:45 PM and the finalists are Shawna Cormier of Denver, CO, Kevin Cox of Muncie, IN, and Mike Dixon of Wake Forest, NC. We need to support the hometown boy and bring the title back to North Carolina. The competition is great fun and well worth your time to attend. If you or someone you know will be in Denver next week then plan to attend the finals at Wynkoop.

2014 Beer Drinker of the Year competition MIA

Unless I missed the memo it appears the BDoY competition is dead. I had heard rumblings they might resurrect it during the GABF, but with that event less than a week away it seems like they have stuck a fork in it. Word on the street is Wynkoop did not feel they were getting a return on investment and so the competition was scrapped. At least I did get to compete and have a bevy of T-shirts from being in the top 10 as a semifinalist and one from when I was a finalist. I was kicked to the curb in 2012 and 2013 and was hoping for a strong comeback in 2014, but alas it was not in the cards.
