Handy Andy Benefit, Homebrew and Label Competitions, Press Release June 9th, 2012 Harriet Brewing Tap Room 3036 Minnehaha Ave Minneapolis, Minnesota Homebrewers of the Twin Cities! Submit your ales to a competition to aid one of your hand-icapped brethren! The Handy Andy Homebrew and Label Competitions will be held over the next few months. The winners will be formally announced at the Handy Andy Benefit on June 9th. Our deliveryman and overall good guy, Andy Heater, has been struck with the great plight of rehabilitating his right hand after an unfortunate incident with a glass carboy and a countertop. After the carnage, surgeons were able to reassemble his pinky and ring finger and repair the severe nerve damage done to his digits (though much to his dismay were unable to fit his arm with a Vader-like replacement hand). This unforeseen incident has left Andy in financially dire circumstances and unable to work at his previously madman-like level. We intend to lend him a hand. The Handy Andy Homebrew Competition will consist of the following guidelines: - Beer must be an Ale – no lagers, meads, or specialty beers like smoked beers or sours - Entrants must pick up an entry form from Harriet Brewing and submit 2 bottles of each beer and the $10/beer entry fee by April 28th. - Midwest Supply is offering a 10% discount to participants who bring in an entry form - Winners will be notified during the first week of May, and formally announced on June 9th at the Handy Andy Benefit. The Top 3 highest scoring homebrews will win the following: - Brew a 10 gallon batch of their beer with Paul Johnston, Harriet’s Head Brewer, that will be featured in the Harriet Brewing Taproom on June 9th for the Handy Andy Benefit. - All of the sales from those beers will go to help fund Andy’s recovery. The Handy Andy Label Competition will consist of the following guidelines: - These winning designs will be both a magnet label on tap at the Brewery and posters printed as well. - Dimensions must be scalable to 2.3 x 4.5 inches and have a . 125 inch bleed to be made into tap handle magnets. - Artwork and entry form must be turned in at the brewery no later than Saturday, April 28th. There will be a "people's choice" judging over the course of May 2nd -16th at Harriet Brewing. Ballots will be counted and winners announced afterwards - Original artwork as well as a PDF version must be submitted. Originals will be displayed in the tasting room for voting and the winners will be featured at the June 9th event. The Handy Andy Benefit will be on June 9th, 2012 (Beginning at 1pm) at the Harriet Brewing Taproom More information regarding the festivities for the day of the Handy Andy Event to follow.
