It's been a little more than a year since the original Quest for the Best 1: Muskoxtoberfest in Spring: Feats of Beer '09, the Brew-tastic Challenge, and in that year, it seems like the more beer I drink, the more I learn about myself. So here's what I've learned over the past year, after my eyes were opened in the original QFTB:

As I talked about in a previous post, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, could be the coolest brewery ever, and after an exchange with people in their administrative offices, they sent us a package of swag.
I arrived home this afternoon to find this on my front porch...

After the Muskoxen held Quest for the Best 1: Muskoxtoberfest in Spring: Feats of Beer '09, the Brew-tastic Challenge, we decided to contact the top three breweries and let them know how they had done in our little contest.
Without thinking much about it, I put together a standard email congratulating the winners on Thursday, April 16, and let them know that they were free to use the appropriate badge on their website to show the world that they are very highly regarded by the Muskoxen. We didn't figure much would come of it.
Being the largest and most widely-known brewer of the winners (second place), and not to mention that Sierra Nevada is pretty much the brewery that put micro-brewing on the map, we didn't expect too much from them. To our surprise, however, within a few hours I got an email back from quality control thanking us for the kind words, telling me that they enjoyed our video, and that they had forwarded my email to the CEO and brewmaster. We thought that was the end of it.
