How to read the tables

Every result row carries its sources. Strain links are exact matches by the importer, never guessed. Editions marked partial or not_found are published as such.

LOVERS CUP (FIRST ADULT-USE CANNABIS COMPETITION IN MONTANA) · FOUND

Draught Works, Missoula · 5 result rows · judges: Tom Winter, Ariana Newton, Jesse Blumenthal, Mike Zens, Nicko Lannan

So at the end of January, we put out an open call for entries, and on February 23 we packed the longstanding Missoula brewery Draught Works to announce the winners.

We capped entries at 20 shops and limited our judging panel to five Missoula-based connoisseurs, who represent a wide range of backgrounds:
Our judges had about three weeks to test the 20 strains, which were eligible for five awards: Best Flavor, Best Smoking Experience, Most Relaxing, the Aphrodite Award (this was the Lovers Cup, after all), and Best Overall Strain.
