The Lagunitas Brewing Company is sponsoring a homebrew contest exclusively for AHA sanctioned home-brew clubs in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area (This means us!).
The winning homebrewer (along with 3 others chosen at amongst the entire contest) will win a paid trip to California this coming May 29th-31st to visit the Lagunitas Brewery and have the opportunity to brew a beer (which will be sold back in our Minneapolis/St. Paul market)! The competition is looking for a beer that 'consumers would enjoy drinking'; no lagers, fruit/spices or herbs can be used and must be made with an American yeast.
If your interested, here's what you'll need to do: Bring some bottles to share at
our next JAB meeting (which is on March 3rd at The Great Tim Roets house in Chaska). We will then vote on (as a club) the one best beer fitted for this competition. The winning brewer will then need to supply a six-pack (to be used for official judging) before May 3rd, 2013.
