Timothy Rozmus of San Diego, CA, with the help of Doug Brown and Matt Buggert, won a gold medal in Category 29: Speciality & Seasonal Spiced Beer in the 2024 National Homebrew Competition Final Round. The trio of QUAFF members earned gold out of 47 entiries, and it helped QUAFF claim the title of 2024 Homebrew Club of the Year.

Rozmus describes this winter seasonal beer with the following: “Delicately balanced fresh spruce tip and a mulling spice blend complement a punchy, San Diego-style Double IPA: a IIPA fit to be found under the tree on Christmas morning.”
