October
17, 2006 -- The Grand Prize Winner of the Have a Ball at Briess(tm) Contest has
been announced by Briess Malt & Ingredients Company. Brad Stillmank, brewer at
Ska Brewing Company in Durango, Colorado, has won the opportunity for him and a
co-worker to help produce a Briess roasted specialty malt in a traditional
K-Ball Roaster and name the finished product. Ska Head Brewer Jeff Ogden will
accompany Stillmank to Briess to assist in the production.
"This is a great opportunity for Jeff and myself," Stillmank said after learning
about his prize. We are really looking forward to be involved in the production
of this specialty malt. Many ideas are already flying around the brewery as to
what type of beer we are going to be able to make with this new malt, Thanks
Briess !!"

malting tradition by Briess Malt & Ingredients Company. The family-owned
