by Ron Wolfgram

sorry for the last couple of posts I should have sent these to majordomo instead of MBA I thought the list has been real quiet. its because I have been unsubsribed since march must be because I quit Qwest and ATT has been switching so now I "think" I have a stable email address rwolfgram(a)attbi.com Ron Wolfgram St Paul MN

Re: FW: Malt

by David H Berg

How do these rumors get started? Someone said to me the other night they heard Crisp was closing, to which I responded "I find that hard to believe, I just saw William Crisp in Cleveland." I thought whomever I was talking to was just misinformed; I didn't realize the mill had been whipped into high speed. Rest assured, both Kelly and Dingemanns are doing an excellent job filling in the gap left by DWC closing.

CALLING BEER JUDGES: Upper Mississippi Mash-Out April 27-28

by Christopher Hadden

Last call to all beer judges (or wanna-be beer judges!) We're still in need of a few good tasters for the Upper Mississippi Mash-Out Beer, Mead and Cider Competition! We will be doing two sessions of judging this Saturday, April 27 at 3pm and 7pm, and another session on Sunday, April 28 at 1:30pm. The location is Harwell's Steak House and Brewery in Shakopee. We have need of BJCP-certified judges, but you are welcome to help if you would like to learn how to judge - inexperienced judges will be teamed with Certified judges. This is the first year of this contest, cosponsored by the Minnesota Home Brewers Association and the St.Paul Homebrew Club. Please help us to make it a great success! For more information, go to http://www.mnbrewers.com/mashout. Contact us at mash-out(a)nbrewer.com if you are interested.
