Armando Barajas brewed the Official 2018 Tailspin Ale, Gimme S’More, with Leah Dienes at Apocalypse Brew Works.

Armando’s Gimme S’more was selected this year from dozens of Lagers Homebrew Club entries, vying for the opportunity to brew on a large commercial system and share their beer at the Tailspin Ale Fest.

Essentially, we’re having an in-house beer competition at Gordon Biersch, and the winner will be invited to come in and brew the winning beer on our system. We’ll have a fun tapping party, and raise money for the Humane Society.
