FW: Great Arizona Homebrew Competition

by Michael Behrendt

FYI //Mike From: W N [mailto:wn45@ymail.com] Sent: Monday, January 14, 2013 11:41 PM To: W N Subject: Great Arizona Homebrew Competition Dear Brewer; Brewmeisters Anonymous is pleased to announce the Great Arizona Homebrew Competition will be held on April 20th and April 21st, 2013. It is our hope and our goal that this event will lead to the greater understanding, the greater enjoyment, and the greater quality of homebrewed beer, mead and cider for all who participate. Brewing at home allows us the freedom to make any beverage we are brave enough to attempt. Many home brewers begin their foray into brewing content with any product that resembles the intended beverage. With greater experience in brewing, we gain the confidence and ability to brew with greater predictability in our results. Good beer is a pleasure to drink, regardless of its style. For home brewers who are content with making delicious beverages that don’t necessarily conform to any style, we say “Cheers!” If you are a brewer who wants the challenge of brewing to a particular style, we invite you to brew and enter your beer in the Great Arizona Homebrew Competition. All Mead, Perry, and Cider will be automatically transferred to the Arizona Mead Cup. For those who are new to the idea of homebrew competitions here is a bit of what goes on. Judges are gathered that are familiar with traditional styles of beer. In groups of two to four, they taste all of the entries in a particular style category and determine among themselves which ones most closely represents the style. The three that represent the style the closest are given first, second and third place for that style. There are twenty-three (23) beer style categories. The style categories are defined by the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) dated 2008 and can be found at www.bjcp.org <http://www.bjcp.org/> . Each entry is given a score and several of the best scoring beverages from all the categories are compared to determine the Best of Show (BOS), Second, and third are all determined by the judges. The judges score sheet is returned to the brewer, it lists the judges’ evaluation and comments so you know how your product faired. Why enter the Great Arizona Homebrew Competition? Bragging rights the sense of accomplishment from a brew well-made and the prizes. The top three entries in each category will be awarded medals and other prizes. Mailed entries will be accepted through April 11th.

Those people coming from out of town can find discounted hotel information at http://greatnorthernbrewhaha.brewcomp.com/volunteers . Both of these hotels have been featured on "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" and (more importantly) are just one staggering block from the Fitgers Brewery Complex.
