It's almost about Mashout time again!
Yup, it's our lucky thirteenth competition and we're getting ready for another
awesome Mashout!
The most different part of the UMMO this year is our focus on Giving Back. Our very dear
friend Kathy Stock was diagnosed with brain cancer earlier this fall. Every penny of the
proceeds of the UMMO will go to her, for anything she needs or bills ... personally we
hope she buggers off to Vegas and makes a mint!
For you volunteers, and if you aren't one you really gotta get on board, the judging
will be at Grumpys-Roseville again as it�s a great place with killer beer and food.
We'll be doing a lot of the really cool stuff we always do...plus a few new angles.
You'll be wined and dined like no other competition in the nation plus your standard
commemorative beer and glass.
We'll have lunchtime speakers, again, for your enjoyment. For Friday and Saturday
lunch, Michael Dawson, brand manager at Wyeast will be giving two different talks on the
Friday and Saturday.
The massively popular Friday night Piss-up will be back and better than ever. Bring your
wackest, dopest, dirty or funky commercial beers possible. Sour, risqu� and so on. There
will be some stuff a lot of you guys have never tried before! As always, the ever awesome
Cellar beer event will be the hallmark of the evening.
Finally, the banquet is always a great time. Last year we were full and seats, again, are
sure to sell out quickly so get your tickets ASAP. You again get a commemorative glass,
meal, beers and the debauchery that follows.
So, what are the important dates?
- Registration opens on 13 December.
- Dropoff begins on 27 December.
- Registration and dropoff end on 17 January.
- The Mashout happens on 24 and 25 January.
- The banquet happens the evening of the 25 January.
So, just like the election, enter early and enter often! We cap out entries at 1,000 and
we've hit that in previous years.
See you there!
