Anyone know that they're going to the conference in San Diego next June?
Please let me and Chris and Paul know. AHA is starting to plan for Club

Thanks!

Ticket Sell Out Update - 12/01/10
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Winterfest 2011 sold out in less than a minute - that means there were far more than 700 people online waiting to buy tickets at the instant they went on sale. A large number of you got a screen that indicated that there was a heavy load - while technically true, our ticketing partner has informed us that this was not a sign of error and people were queued up in order. The first 700 people to get in were successful (we are talking a matter of seconds or milliseconds) and if a person dropped out of the pending sale the next person in line was able to get in on the sale. This has become a natural lottery system of sorts and in order to keep Winterfest intimate and accessible, the MN Craft Brewer's Guild does not want to increase attendance levels to meet current demand for our festival.
We apologize if there was any perception of unfairness or technical error, the system did function correctly and we are excited by the level of enthusiasm our state has for our Craft Breweries and Brew Pubs.

Over the past 10 years the Upper Mississippi Mashout has grown from a regional
competition held in a local steak house restaurant to one of the largest
competitions in the country. The growth was not without its challenges over the
years but the organizers are none worse for the wear, and are ready for another
outstanding turn out at this year’s UMMO. Fresh from hosting the AHA National
Homebrew conference and competition in June 2010, the Mashout Organizing
Committee is ready to raise the bar again this year. The 2011 competition will
be held January 29th and 30th at Grumpy’sin Roseville, Minnesota. The theme
this year is American Craft Beer with an American-themed banquet, commemorative
beers, speakers, and events.
Jay and Lori Wince from Weasel Boy Brewing, winners of the 2010 GABF Silver
Medal for their RIS and the 2005 UMMO BoS Winner, will be giving the Friday
afternoon talk. In addition, Dave Berg (aka Rocket Scientist), the head brewer
of the second oldest family owned brewery in the US, August Schell Brewing, will
be giving the Saturday afternoon talk. Check out the events section of the
websitefor additional volunteer events for this year’s competition.
Key information:
Registration opens – December 17th 2010
Entry Deadline – January 7th 2011
Entry Fee – $8.00 per entry
*NEW* Multiple Entry Categories:
For 2011, the following categories now allow entrants to enter more than one
beer per subcategory. Two (2) 10-14 oz. bottles are required for each entry.
* 16e - Belgian Specialty Ale
* 17f - Sour Ale - Fruit Lambic
* 20 - Fruit Beer
* 21a - Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer
* 21b - Christmas/Winter Specialty Spiced Beer
* 22b - Other Smoked Beer
* 22c - Wood-Aged Beer
* 23 - Specialty Beer
Best Traditional US beer Category:
This is the first year for another 'special' category. It follows the theme of
beers from the United States and beers will be judged in a last-man-standing,
BoS format. The top three entries will get a special prize. Styles included in
this special category are:
* Category 1a - Light American Lager
* Category 1b - Standard American Lager
* Category 1c - Premium American Lager
* Category 6a - Cream Ale
* Category 6b - Blonde Ale
* Category 6d - American Wheat or Rye Beer

There is nothing one needs to do to enter this category. The best beer of these
styles will be chosen as 'last man standing' on the BOS table.
The EIS-ANYTHING Category:
Enter the Eis-Anything style by brewing ANY BJCP Style of beer, and then
"Eis"-ing it. Riffing on the theme of Eisbocks, any BJCP style can be iced and
entered in this category. Beers will be judged on the base style as well as how
the 'eising' affected the base beer. Since Eisbock is a registered BJCP
category it is excluded from this special category.
Mead, Cider, Eis Anything:
· Brewers may enter multiple entries in the mead, cider, and Eis Anything
categories.
· Each entry must be unique.
· Only one (1) 10-14 oz. bottle is required for each entry in the Eis
Anything category.
