[JAB@thebarn.com message] Byggvir Entries accepted through September 7th

Huzzah! The deadline for the 8th Annual Byggvir's Big Beer Cup at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival is quickly approaching! We are accepting entries through Sunday, September 7th! Entries showcasing historic, English, and European styles. You can drop your entries off at five Minnesota brew shops: Northern Brewer (Minneapolis & St. Paul), Midwest Supplies (St. Louis Park), Still H20 (Stillwater), and Brew & Grow (Blaine). $6/entry. Please check with the shops for their closing times. Judges and stewards of all skill levels are encouraged to sign up to help out. Judging will be on-site at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival on Saturday, September 20 & Sunday, September 21, 2014. Last year, we had over 250 entries, with pairs of hand-made drinking vessels, gift certificates, and other fantastic prizes from our sponsors given out. We at Byggvir's Big Beer Cup are very excited to announce that Mike Hoops from Minneapolis Town Hall has been generous enough to once again offer to brew the best beer of Byggvir's at Town Hall Brewery! Tim Roets from Sponsel's Minnesota Harvest Orchard Winery has agreed to brew one of the best meads/ciders! Check out our website for more information: http://www.rennfestbeercup.com/.
