Subject: Judges Needed for Bluff Country Co-op's St. Patrick's Homebrew Competition
Hello,
My name is Joshua Datta, I am the Judge Director for the Bluff Country Co-op's annual St Patrick's Day Homebrew Contest in Winona, MN and am writing to you in hopes that you would be interested in helping judge for our BJCP sanctioned competition!
This contest will take place on Saturday, March 18th 2016. The judging location this year will be at the beautiful Winona County History Center in Winona, MN. We will be judging in 2 sessions with the morning session running from 9am-Noon followed by a break for lunch and the afternoon session starting at 1pm with best of show judging to follow immediately after all categories have been completed and we hoped to be wrapped up no later than 5:30pm.
We will be providing a breakfast before the first session starting at 8:30am consisting of a variety of Winona's famous Bloedow's Donuts and a make your own oatmeal bar, along with coffee and tea. Lunch will be a delicious chili available as both vegetarian and beef along with homemade cornbread.
We will be utilizing a Queued Judging flight setup are are hoping for 16-18 judges judging in teams of two. If you are able to be present for both sessions we would greatly appreciate it, but even if you are only able to participate in one session we would be happy to have you! There will likely be a mix of BJCP Certified Judges and non-certified judges who are either experienced local homebrewers or local brewery owners. New for this year is online registration for judges and entrants! Link below.
Winona is 2.5hrs south of the Twin Cities, 1hr east of Rochester and 1/2hr northwest of LaCrosse, WI. It is nestled along the Mississippi River in Minnesota's Driftless region. It is a cultural and recreational Mecca in Southeast Minnesota with many activities and recreational opportunities including hiking and mountain biking trails, several top notch museums (including the renowned Minnesota Marine Art Museum) and vibrant nightlife. If it fits your schedule to stay for the weekend you will not be disappointed!

We need the old shirt off your back, please! A generous soul has been making quilts out of homebrew club shirts, then auctioning them at the national homebrew conventions. She makes one quilt per convention out of logo shirts from the surrounding area of the convention. This year she would like to make a quilt out of MN/WI/IA/ND homebrew club logo shirts, so if you have one to donate, then please contact me or Chip Walton. All the money raised by the quilt sale goes to charity. Personal. Professional.
