The Annual BYO Label Contest is never an easy task when it comes to sitting down at the judging table. A good number of man hours is spent in fierce debate, steadfast appeal for support, an occasional filibuster and a checks and balances system so complex that our label electing democracy could never fail. When it came down to the final stretch, it was one thought that united the BYO staff in choosing of our Grand Champion: “Who came up with the idea for an udder-capper and where can we get one?” Creativity is key to a contest of this nature. Joel Miller broke the mold with the innovative technique of capping the udders of a dairy cow for his Cream Stout. Our hats are off to Joel for his brave step into the milking frontier. (Note: No animals were harmed in the designing of this label).
