Esteemed judges, stewards and beer aficionados,

The Nordeast Brewers Alliance is again hosting the Nordeast Big River Homebrew Competition in conjunction with the Nordest Big River Brew Fest. Last year we had a great time running our first BJCP competition and couldn't have done it without your help along the way. We had over 150 entries last year, and expect even more this year.

The competition is beer only, with the addition of the specialty categories American Wild Ale and 100% Brett. We hope to again bring out the funk and unleash the wild ales.

Standard BJCP judging points will be awarded based on sessions judged or stewarded, and we will be providing food and refreshments during the judging.

Registration for competition judging/stewarding is open Aug 21-Sep 28.at nordeasthbc.brewcompetition.com . Please sign up if you can volunteer.

All Judging will be done at the East Side Neighborhood Services, 1700 2nd St NE, Minneapolis.

Judging sessions will be Oct 12 and 13, from 10-4:30, broken into AM and PM shifts.

BOS judging will be held Oct 13.

All winners will be announced at the Nordeast Big River Brew Fest on Saturday Oct 19.

I hope to have a great cast of judges and stewards just like last year. Your help makes or breaks the competition, so thanks in advance! Please pass this email along to anyone who might be interested in helping out.

Cheers,

Tyler Bye
