Have you made your New Year Resolutions yet?
The number one resolution should be to enter the 2008 Upper Mississippi
Mash-Out. There are only 5 more days until entries are accepted.

The upcoming holiday weekend is a perfect time to drink some homebrew
and evaluate your entries. Don't forget the carboys or kegs you didn't
get around to bottling.
So pull out the BJCP guidelines and find style that matches your brew.
Remember, the style that could win you all the swag and the Best of Show
wooden chalice may not be the style that you actually tried to brew.

Bottle Opener Required.
With the end of many breweries providing returnable bottles for homebrew
filling, Sierra Nevada recently changed the configuration of their
bottle and bottle cap. I believe they are now using an oxygen absorbing
cap and have gone back to the traditional crown bottles without twist
off spiral. Although they still use thin wall glass, this is a possible
new source for homebrew bottles.
Sincerely,
Rick Oftel

2008 Judge Coordinator
There are currently 75 entries registered.
We could always use more judges and volunteers; sign up online at www.mnbrewers.com. This is a BJCP registered event and a good way to get more judging experience.
The official deadline is today, and beers are to be dropped off at The Onion offices at 212 3rd Ave. North, #445 in Minneapolis. However, if there is interest, I will extend the entry deadline by one day until Friday.
***!!!*** However, if you drop off beers on Friday, then please drop them off at Northern Brewer in St. Paul.
This is the only location where beers will be accepted on Friday. Please give the entries to
Heyward Gualandi.
Let me know if y'all have any further questions or comments.
Good luck in the contest. Cheers!

1st, my appologies for not remembering who brought along the rye beer at
the MhBA Christmas Potluck Meeting.
2nd, I would really like to try my hand at making the beer. It had a nice
balance (rye was present without being overwhelming), and I would
appreciate having some of that around for my personal drinking.
Anyway, if you have the recipe, please pass it along.
Thanks,
Mark Glewwe
