Hey Bob, The "Autumn Homebrew Review" www.mnbrewers.com/events/autumn is doing all their judging in one weekend. You'll probably be there. Maybe you'd like to be a BOS judge Sat along with a couple flights on Fri night. Look forward to meeting you and all your buddies from Wisconsin! ;-) Mike Moranz, President Minnesota Home Brewers Association ---- Original Message ----- From: <rpaolino(a)execpc.com> To: "Steve" <steve(a)globaldialog.com> Cc: <madbrewers(a)hbd.org>; <jellings(a)me.umn.edu>; <aboyce(a)mn.rr.com> Sent: Saturday, March 09, 2002 12:40 PM Subject: Re: [madbrewers] Beer Contest: THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI MASH-OUT! 5/5/2002 (fwd) > It must be something in the Minnesota brewing water that causes them > to do it, but it seems that almost every big homebrew competition they > do is spread out over more than one weekend with the Best of Show and > added events separate from the main judging.

What is it?

by Moranz, Mike

Greetings, I sampled an entire bottle of "Midas Touch" from the Dogfish Head brewery this weekend. The label says barley, honey, white muscat grapes, and saffron. It had some sediment in the bottom of the 750ml bottle. Excellent blend of malt, honey, and grapes, with none of the three dominating. Mildly sweet with just enough bitterness to balance very nicely. It is hard to say if this is beer or a mead. I picked it up at Winestreets in west Bloomington and plan on a few more for the cellar. Mike Moranz, President Minnesota Home Brewers Association

Re: Wine and spirits taste better then beer???

by Rick Oftel

Will wasn't the only person who noticed this jab but who will notice when we react? Beer with all of the variations can have a much greater range of flavors, aromas, textures, and appearances. Much more than red or white, sweet or dry or oaky wine. Of course the wholesalers forgot about the ancient mixtures made from honey, barley, and grapes. Oh that's right, they don't make that commercially any more! >>> Will Holway <brew987(a)yahoo.com> 08/15/02 10:00AM >>> Found this snippet on MSN (about the health benefits of beer). I heartily disagree that wine tastes better than beer ... The wine folk seem unperturbed by the encroachment of beer into what was once their exclusive PR domain. "We stand by the studies" that link moderate wine consumption and health, says Juanita Duggan, head of the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America, a Washington, D.C., trade group. "And besides, our products will always taste better than theirs." Cheers WH __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Press Release - August Schell Finalizes Sale of Grain Belt

by Mike Tschida

August Schell Brewing Company Finalizes Purchase of Grain Belt Brand New Ulm, Minnesota - Wednesday, August 14th,2002 Ted Marti, President of August Schell Brewing Company, announced the signing of the agreement to purchase the Grain Belt beer brand today. ³We¹re very excited to have the sale completed. We did not see anything that would have blocked the sale so we started to prepare for immediate production. Knowing the consumers have already diminished the supply of Grain Belt has made this task of getting production of Grain Belt started at our New Ulm brewery extremely important. We have all the components of the Grain Belt beer recipe on hand, including the all important yeast, so we can get started at once. We know it is important to make sure the taste of Grain Belt does not change. I want to assure loyal Grain Belt drinkers they will get the same great American lager beer they are used to drinking. We take pride in producing a consistent product here and I¹m positive we will be able to do that with Grain Belt.² explained Marti. Look for distribution of the product to be in full swing shortly. ³It is imperative to not let the tap lines and shelves run out of Grain Belt. While this may happen in isolated cases, we are doing all we can to get the product to market as fast as possible without compromising the quality of the beer.² said Marti. One of the reasons August Schell Brewing Company is working hard to get full production ramped up is the upcoming Minnesota State Fair . ³ We view The State Fair as an important venue for Grain Belt. It has a long association with The State Fair and we don¹t want to disappoint the fans of Grain Belt by not having enough beer available for them at The Fair² explained Marti. The recipe and packaging for Grain Belt will not change. ³Why change what has proven to be a popular beer? We hope that with our distribution network we can make Grain Belt more consistently and more widely available. That¹s how we intend to make Grain Belt a more viable brand for the future² offered Marti.

Autumn Brew Review

by David H Berg

Hey all-- Just a quick note to let you know the ABR is shaping up quite well this year. We've recently added Yellowstone Valley Brewing to the list and I received a message from Big Sky today. The festival is taking on a life of its own! If you haven't purchased tickets yet, I'd advise you to do it soon. I'd hate for anyone that went last year to miss out. Keep an eye on our website for more breweries--- http://www.mncraftbrew.org Cheers!

kuehl leaves cargill, moves to mid america

by Kelly Kuehl - Mid America Brewing Supply

Please feel free to forward the following news as you see fit. I am extremely excited about taking an ownership role in Mid America and I am very much looking forward to continuing and fulfilling my business vision. Kelly Mid America Brewing Supply, a Minnesota based wholesale distributor of brewing ingredients is pleased to announce the appointment of Kelly J. Kuehl as Director of Products of Brands. Kuehl recently resigned his position as Sales Manager of Cargill Malt’s Specialty Malt division where he had that position for the last six years as an employee of Schreier Malting and later Cargill Malt. “I’m very excited about the opportunity that has been presented to me,” said Kuehl. “Mid America’s success has been built on their commitment to customer service and their ability to deliver everything the brewer needs, all bundled on one shipment. It’s their ‘big enough to serve you, small enough to care’ philosophy that really drew me to this position. Mid America recently signed an exclusive importing agreement with Simpson’s Malt from the UK. Coupled with their distribution of the malt product lines from Briess, Cargill, Crisp, Dingemans, Gambrinus, Great Western, Meussdoerffer, Minnesota Malting, Pauls and Weyermann, Mid America has become a one-stop malt resource. The company also inventories a full range of hops from Hop Union and a wide range of brewing and filter aids. Kuehl may be reached in his Minneapolis office at 952-881-6601 or by e-mail, kelly(a)midamericabrewing.com. Mid America Brewing Supply is based in Kasota, MN. Inquiries may be directed to Tom Hall, Managing Partner, at 1-800-374-2739.
