2nd Place - 2016 Indiana State Fair Brewers Cup (34 entries in Category)
http://cdn.indianastatefair.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Brewers_Cup_Homebrew_Results_2016.pdf

Originally intended as a Czech Premium, but it presented more like a Czech Pale, so it was entered in the above competition as a regular Czech Pils, not Premium. Dyno-mite beer.
