Hey fellow JAB'ers, I just wanted to let you know we were in the unlucky group for this one. Unfortunately no one from the club was a winner, but I think it was awesome we at least participated. I also know we had fun sampling and picking our club winner. Maybe next time!

See below for a snippet of the winner and the additional people drawn for the trip. Maybe you know one of them ;)
 
Thanks and see ya'll in June for our next meeting!

-Ben

Hey all!

I want to throw out a special "THANK YOU" to all of the clubs who participated in this and ALL the members who threw their hat in the ring to make things happen!

We have our winning homebrewer (chosen by the panel of judges) so a big Congratulations to.......

PETER SKOLD!

Then, I drew one name from all the homebrewers from all the clubs in the Minn/St. Paul area and so congratulations to......

DANIEL HERMAN!

Then, I drew 2 names from our panel of Retailer judges and so, to round out the MN Brewing team we congratulate......

PAT DWYER from Grumpy's NE!

JEFFREY HOADLEY from Pizza Luce, St. Paul!

These guys make up the Brewing Team that will travel to CA on May 29th to brew a special beer for your market. They will work with our Head Brewer Jeremy Marshall in formulating the recipe. As I stated in the initial letter to invite you to participate, we will not necessarily brew the winning homebrewer's beer but it will be their ticket in to fly out to our Petaluma brewery. We MAY brew a beer with similarities, but I leave all that up to the professionals!
