The official results for the 2012 Great Lakes International Cider & Perry Competition (GLINT CAP) were posted on Wednesday evening. I have imported the results into a spreadsheet and—by viewing the data in various different ways in a pivot table—have created an analysis that is summarized in the following PDF file:
GLINT CAP 2012 Results Analysis [1.6 MB]
An added feature of this analysis (compared to the 2011 results analysis) is an alphabetical listing of medalists along with their products that medaled in the judging. What follows is a sampling of the analysis in the PDF file.

I have plenty more to say about the event…but I wanted to publish this before interest in the results waned. In particular, I found the Friday evening training seminar very educational and would hope that the event is expanded and opened up to the public as interest in cider in North America continues to rise.
