Subject: The 2010 Great Arizona Homebrew Competition
Brewmeisters Anonymous
Dear Brewer,
Brewmeisters Anonymous is pleased to announce the Great Arizona Homebrew Competition will be held on April 24thand 25th, 2010. It is our hope and our goal that this event will lead to the greater understanding, the greater enjoyment, and the greater quality of homebrewed beer, mead and cider for all who participate.
Brewing at home allows us the freedom to make any beverage we are brave enough to attempt. Many home brewers begin their foray into brewing content with any product that resembles the intended beverage. With greater experience in brewing, we gain the confidence and ability to brew with greater predictability in our results.
Good beer is a pleasure to drink, regardless of its style. For home brewers who are content with making delicious beverages that don’t necessarily conform to any style, we say “Cheers!” If you are a brewer who wants the challenge of brewing to a particular style, we invite you to brew and enter your beer, mead and cider in the Great Arizona Homebrew Competition.
For those who are new to the idea of homebrew competitions here is a bit of what goes on. Judges are gathered that are familiar with traditional styles of beer, mead and cider. In groups of two to four, they taste all of the entries in a particular style category and determine among themselves which ones most closely represents the style. The three that represent the style the closest are given first, second and third place for that style. There are twenty-eight (28) style categories. The style categories are defined by the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) dated 2008 and can be found at www.bjcp.org <http://www.bjcp.org/> . Each entry is given a score and several of the best scoring beverages from all the categories are compared to determine the Best of Show (BOS), Second, and third are all determined by the judges. The judges score sheet is returned to the brewer, it lists the judges’ evaluation and comments so you know how your product faired.
Why enter the Great Arizona Homebrew Competition? Bragging rights the sense of accomplishment from a brew well made and the prizes. The top three entries in each category will be awarded medals and other prizes.
Entries will be accepted up to April 21st. For important details and restrictions, please see the Brewmeisters Anonymous website at http://www.brewarizona.org or write to:

This is in fact completely commercial-based. The AP wire copy on twincities.com really struck out on the point (as did I for passing it along without reading the text of the bill). The rep. has brought this up in the session b/c one of constituents was trying to rent out some commercial space to a business that was interested in having a restaurant, but also brewing tea in the basement. Apparently there is a Prohibition-era law against basement brewing, likely to cut down on bootlegging, that is still in effect. Thus, her constituents were being denied the legal right to rent it out as such.
I do wonder how brewpubs and breweries work into the equation.... Herkimer and Barley John's have basement facilities. But I'm sure that's a whole other set of laws that have been solidify and suck to deal with on a whole other scale.
Again, says the rep., no homebrewer connection to this bill. Feel free to continue brewing in your basement (like you were going to stop anyway?).
Below is the text of the bill should you want to check it out:

FYI, the Strib Web site is infected with Malware.
The STrib is aware and is working to remove the code.
For this particular infection, an antivirus software
advertisement called Antivirus Soft pops up and cannot be closed.
So, if you followed the link to the site about making "Basement Brewing
Legal" you may have exposed your pc to this malware
Cheers,
Jim

Here's the deal--I don't care what Punxsutawney Phil has to say on the subject--spring is officially here for baseball fans. Pitchers and catchers reported to the big-league camps earlier this week, and spring training is gearing up for most Major League Baseball teams. Fantasy baseball players everywhere are knee-deep in statistical nonsense, and the finishing touches are being placed on the Twins new stadium. That can only mean that it's time to start planning for the MN Homebrewers Association's annual "Sinning with the Saints" event.
If you're new, here's how it works:
Each May, the club rents a tailgating spot for a game at Midway Stadium, home of the Saint Paul Saints baseball club. At 4:00, members (with their friends, and family) begin assembling at the tailgating spot. We grill, we chill, we enjoy being outside for the first time in six months. Homebrew is shared, and after 7:00 people trickle into the game to eat cotton candy and harass the opposing team. This year we'll be attending the Monday, May 17th contest against the Saltdogs of Lincoln, Nebraska.
New this year!--chairs and tables! The club has sprung for 50 chairs and five tables to be set up at our tailgating spot in advance of our arrival. Rumor has it that there might be a five-gallon keg of some local treat available as well.
Old this year!-- e-mail me with your ticket requests, then send a check (PAYABLE to MHBA) for $12 per ticket to John Longballa, 1015 Parker Ave, Roseville, 55113 We purchase 50 tickets for reserved seats, and have sold them all the past three years. It would help me a lot if people who are planning to attend could speak up before the week of the game, like NOW, please! (or at least by the end of March--pleeeeease?) Children aged three and older need a ticket.
Also old--we'll need a few folks to bring grills. Everyone should bring grillables and something to share. Plates, plastic ware, etc. are provided by the club.
Mark your calendars, e-mail me, send a check (payable to MHBA), then don a baseball mitt and sit staring intensely at the snow--willing it away so that the boys of summer can return once again!

Dear Judge,
The AHA National Homebrew Competition, Midwest Regional
(NHC 2010) will be held in Madison, Wisconsin this year! Judging is slated
for Saturday, April 17th at the Capital Brewery. The Madison
Homebrewers and Tasters Guild (MHTG -- www.mhtg.org) is the host club (yes, the folks
that organize the Great Taste of the Midwest :-). Keith
Symonds is the Site Coordinator and Tony Jacques is
the Judge Coordinator. All of the details about the event are on the
attached pdf file. We hope that you will be able to join us in Madison for
a fun day of judging and a fun weekend for your entire family. We look
forward to seeing you.
Keith and Tony
