Thanks to the efforts of Rik Pohlman and Dave Wilson, the SPCC Men’s International continues to grow and get better every year. 56 teams, 33 of which were from outside the SPCC, competed and enjoyed the hospitality, with so many different beers they didn’t have a chance to tap them all, and don’t forget the $5000 prize!
