Interview with 2023 winner:
Meet last year’s winner of the MBCC Home Brew Competition, Allard de Wijkerslooth 🍻
He championed the competition with a Belgian tripel style with a hint of orange and earned a spot among the world’s best breweries at last year’s MBCC:
“Being part of the Homebrew Competition was a fantastic experience,” he says.
“Getting the feedback on my beer from Mikkel meant a lot. The experience after winning was even more amazing. Not to mention attending MBCC as a brewer and having so many people taste my beer, talking about brewing with the visitors and the real brewers was the experience of a lifetime.”
So what was the secret to winning the competition 🤔 ?
“I just submitted a beer I like the best myself,” he says. “I had a few years to tweak the recipe as it is a beer I brew at least once a year for Christmas. I think the beer I submitted was the 7th or 8th tweak in the recipe. Obviously I have not tweaked the recipe since winning the competition, and I brewed it a lot more times since as people are still asking me to taste it.
