Our H.E.R.O. home brewing competition has come to an end and we have a winner! We tasted dozens of delicious homebrews to find this year’s H.E.R.O., and while every entry was top notch, one clearly stood above the rest. Ladies and gentleman, your 2012 H.E.R.O. winner is:

CHOCOLATE CHIPOTLE STOUT, brewed by Vincent and Suzanne Powers of Nottingham, MD. This silky-bodied stout boasts a spicy, chipotle pepper bite perfectly balanced by smooth, sweet chocolate for one unique, very drinkable beer. Congratulations, Powerses, you’ve earned it!

Vincent and Suzanne’s winning entry will be produced by our brewery and distributed in kegs and a limited run of 22oz bottles, available everywhere that our beer is sold. And, just like last year, we are donating EVERY SINGLE PENNY from the sale of H.E.R.O. Chocolate Chipotle Stout to charity.
