Haze varieties remain Cup's strong favourites
Highlife Cup 2009
The Dutch Highlife Cup 2009 was won by coffee shop De Vrolijke Gaper from Gorinchem. As champion of the champions, their Super Silver Haze won them the prize for the best cannabis in the Netherlands. Around 250 invited guests visited the Cup, this year held in the famous artists' village of Ruigoord, located a few miles outside Amsterdam.Highlife Cup 2009
For many of those present, this was their first encounter with the free spirits of Ruigoord. The whole village had been squatted back in the 1970s, and former squatters like Hans Plomp and Gerben Hellinga (both members of the Highlife Cup jury for many years) managed to prevent the village being flattened to make way for new dockland facilities of the port of Amsterdam. In the meantime, the village has come to enjoy international fame as a cultural free haven.
In the middle of the artists' village is the former church, and it was here later in the evening around 11 pm that the presentation of the Highlife Cup took place. But before they got to this point of the proceedings, the guests had been given the opportunity to enjoy a gloriously sultry summer evening. While the sun sank slowly over the horizon, there was the barbecue to enjoy,
accompanied by plenty of drink and innumerable joints, bongs and vaporizer hits.
For the whole evening, the music was in the capable hands of 'Mr. Reggae' Karel Michiels, alias DJ Jah Shakespear, who is not only the Belgian correspondent for Highlife for many years, but is even better known as the number 1 reggae expert in Benelux. Karel pointed out that for the whole evening, he only played numbers that praised the 'Holy Herb' Ganja, and that policy was enjoyed by all.
A first for this year's event was the presence of Evert 'de Verdamper', on hand to enable all those present to try out any of the weed or hashes submitted in by contestants for inclusion in the Cup. Many people took the opportunity with relish, because the 152 (!) samples this year were, according to the jury, of outstanding quality.
Another first for the Highlife Cup was that this year there were fewer categories among the contestants. So for example, there was no longer a distinction made between coffee shops, grow shops, wholesalers or seed companies; all companies were competing for the same prizes. The prize categories were therefore fewer, and the winners were forced to perform even better.
Just before 11 pm the big moment was upon us. A sudden cloudburst created a rush for the fantastic Ruigoord church, so that it looked almost as if the Highlife Cup 2009 was actually going to be announced by the Great Jury Chairman in the Sky.
The excitement grew when the presenter, famous Dutch DJ Cobus, opened the first envelopes with the prize winners, of the first Hydro and Bio categories. The winners were, respectively: coffee shop Bazar with their Power Plant and coffee shop Katsu with So Gouda, who to huge applause came up to the podium to collect their first prizes.
The next two categories were Outdoor and Nederhash and they two were titanic struggles. The Outdoor competition was won by an Amnesia Outdoor from coffee shop Genesis from Geleen, collected by Leon. The prize for the best Nederhash went to Amsterdam coffee shop D & L with their variety Hiya.
For the last two categories it was the turn of Haze Hydro and Haze Bio. In these top categories the competition was even more severe. In the Haze Hydro the top 5 places were won by companies with strong track records in the Cup, such as T.H.C. (fifth with Widow Haze), Ganjaman (fourth with AMG Haze Hydro), De Vrolijke Gaper (third with Amnesia Gold) and Kosbor took second place with their Amnesia. The first prize went, surprisingly, to the coffee shop newcomer Ocean from Amsterdam, with their Silver Haze.
There were also many familiar faces among the Haze Bio winners, who have been proving for many years that they are among the elite in the Netherlands. In 5th position: Kosbor with Amnesia. Fourth place: T.H.C. with Tielse Haze. Third: 't Bunkertje from Apeldoorn with Silver Haze. Second place went to Ganjaman with AMG Haze Hydro. And at number 1: De Vrolijke Gaper with their Super Silver Haze.
Next it was up to Highlife and Soft Secrets publisher Boy Ramsahai to announce the biggest winner of the evening, namely the Highlife Cup 2009 for the Best Cannabis of 2009 (the Champion of the Champions). And the prize went to... the happyas-Larry winners from De Vrolijke Gaper, whose Super Silver Haze was crowned with the best cannabis prize in the Netherlands, one they will be able to display with pride in their enormous establishment in the city of Gorinchem.
It led to emotional scenes among the winners, who in recent years have already picked up most prizes during various Highlife Cup editions. But even so, this award was a special one because this year for the first time it was the 'prize of all prizes' they walked home with. An emotional Dikkie and Tom from De Vrolijke Gaper said later that they were dedicating this prize to Dikkie's mum, who sadly died recently...
And so the evening was given an emotional but fitting end. Organiser Boy Ramsahai thanked everyone for their help, and gave a special thanks to the hospitality of the inhabitants of Ruigoord, who did so much to make sure that this edition of the Highlife Cup was an unforgettable one.
And of course we would like to repeat our congratulations to all the prizewinners! We hope to see you all next year..!
