2017 Make The Cut Homebrew Contest | Round 1

>  Tables sorted by ID, NOT BY RANK
>  Each table received a random slice of varied beer styles – some tables received multiple beers by a single contestant, that was completely random and statistically bound to happen.
>  For entrants who did not provide a beer name, a temporary one was given.
>  During a split decision, 2 beers plus the higher ranked advanced (3 beers).
>  Beer name(s) may change for Federal labeling / beer industry reason.
>  Judges did not know brewer names during ANY round, just beer information.
