The MhBA Website is down again. If you're trying to enter beers or sign up to judge at the Minnesota State Fair contest, you can go to: http://beer.tzo.com/mnstatefair.htm, and click on REGISTER to get to the database.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Please pass this email on if you know anyone who's still trying to register.

Another update from the Prez
Several club members pointed out I forgot to mention one of the club
benefits in my competition e-mail.
We can help you ship your entries!
The typical fees to cover shipping and packaging materials are $1 per
bottle, but we make entering contests as painless as beer tasting.
All you need to do is let me know how many entries you want to ship.
I need to have the entries about 1 week before the deadlines.
In other words, if you would like entries shipped to the River City Round-up
I need the entries by the end of this week.
If you would like entries shipped to the FOAM Cup I need you entries early
in the week of 6-10 September.
CHEERS and Good Luck to all
Jonathan

simulating the effects of a good beer visually is probably similar to
watching the 1980 olympics' USA vs USSR game on a TV with the sound off. ;)

With these "beer goggles" see what impaired driving is like without
drinking (and driving, please). Four different levels of intoxication
are simulated with different goggles. They even sell a battery powered
go-kart that simulates the delayed response when driving impaired.
