And the BIG PIG Trophy goes to.....
Alan McKay with his 'classic' bacon! That's right, no crazy flavours just plain old good bacon. I heard that was some good shit. However, I didn't get a taste! Ya hear me Alan? Congratulations brother, a well deserved win, but be warned - I'll be gunnin' for you next year. You can follow more of Alan's charcuterie adventures on his blog right here: http://www.urbanhippy.ca/
Both 2nd and third places both went to yours truly! 2nd place for my Cinnamon bacon and 3rd place for my Rosemary bacon.
A 3rd entry from yours truly was decided as the 'Brewnosers Choice' for my Carribean Bacon.
Congratulations again to Allan and everyone else involved. I'm looking forward to seeing you all make total pigs of yourselves again next year! Extra big thanks to the Brewnosers Beer Appreciation Club and of course the team of judges; Jeff Pinhey, Zane Kelsall, Bruce Keith and John Carpenter.
Here's a couple action shots from the event. Click on the photos to enlarge...

Thanks for holding the competition - I'm pretty thrilled to have won! If you go to my site there you can see my bacon recipes as well as how I smoke it in my back yard. That batch was smoked with apple and cherry, and I think the cherry really makes it.
I'll be in next year for sure. Though I guess technically I'll be one of the "pros" since I'm a butcher now :-) My boss wants to get a picture of me with my trophy and hang it on the wall at work. Funny because when I applied for the job I told him that he makes good bacon but my wife and I both like mine better.

Lots of video fun :-)
Wait - did someone do a beer bacon? If beer bacon and bacon beer appear in the same room, does the world implode upon itself or does we achieve Utopia?
Thanks for the links Bushidoka! Glad to have you in the comp and look forward to having you again next year :)
