Laura-
I can't make it this year - we're hosting a house concert on 4/21. But I've passed this along to the Mn Homebrewers Assoc, and St.Paul Homebrewers Club.
Guys and gals - this is a great contest! Had a fun time there last year!

Subject: Judges Needed for Between the Bluffs Homebrew Competition
Greetings, fellow beer enthusiasts --
La Crosse, Wisconsin's Between the Bluffs Beer, Wine, & Cheese Fest is looking for a few good BJCP-certified judges to adjudicate our homebrew competition. Your expertise and feedback regularly receive rave reviews from our entrants, and we're hoping you will consider joining us to continue the tradition of quality judging associated with this event.
The date of the competition judging is 21 April (Saturday) in downtown La Crosse. (The date on the BJCP website is currently incorrect. Judging is not on the 20th; it's on the 21st.) The competition sponsors will provide judges with the following:
1 night of free lodging (may be used Fri/Sat of the competition weekend or Fri/Sat of the BTB fest)
1 ticket to Between The Bluffs (28 April)
Lunch during the judging
Gift card for dinner at one of our fine eating establishments
If you are interested in judging, please let us know by 21 March (Wednesday). Once we have confirmed who will be judging, we'll provide more information.
