AFTER FURTHER REVIEW



Given the closeness of the scoring this year, which had the 3 best American Oktoberfest beers separated by less than one point, we did an automatic recount.  Lo and behold, we found an error in the scoring on one beer.  Sure enough, it changes the overall result. 

Winner of the match and NEW, BEER SWAP CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, is:

LEINENKUGEL OKTOBERFEST!

Congratulations to our first time champion John Hoog! 

Oh, and after further review, Jason's beer is still the Worst.  Swap in Horsham 2012!
