the founder Rob Todd won.
I tried a lot of their beers, black, white, tripel, and curieux and they are all pretty good and the quality is high. It costs more than a cheap mass market lager (like Coors Light, Bud, etc.) but it's worth it and the price is fair.
I have their White, Black, and Curiex at home and had a bottle yesterday.
