Settle down with a hot cup of something, and gloss over these awards!
I See What You Did There - Zav'e takes the prize, the bruin who's brewin' up a storm.
Above the Fold goes to the entry which is debatably more pre-fold than fold, Brew Carey. Rather fitting when the coffee pot on top is what makes the basic profile interesting.
The Iron Chef Special Ingredient award goes to Leonormaud, in part because most all the other profiles dealt with potions or booze (or boozepotions). Bullshit all-purpose chemical powers was also a common theme, but I appreciated this one trying for a modern (?) take.
Backdoor Worldbuilding I'll give to Rhodes Bordelain, for tantalising glimpses into a slightly off-kilter history.
Diligent Gentleman goes to Alemaiden Runa. The Valgerding ale would be a hot commodity for any battler, and Runa herself seems up to the challenge to repel would-be keg-tappers.
The Iron Brew wins The 20Q Award For Confusion, mostly because I'm perplexed as to what the hideous stealth pun is that bigro thought up. Methinks I need to brush up on my Scottish.
Synergy honestly could've gone to any of the profiles, as the alchemist/multiple-effects-potion-producer theme carried right through the offerings, but Cuildra will have a lot of fun with its co-battlers no matter what you throw at it. It'd work especially well with any of the more trigger-happy characters, I guess?
Best of Show - I'm giving this to Barkeep, mostly by virtue of being a strong contender for Diligent Gentleman and Synergy. I couldn't give him both, so he gets this'n instead.

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
