CALLING BEER JUDGES: Upper Mississippi Mash-Out April 27-28

by allan.boyce＠usbank.com

Calling all Beer Judges (or wanna-be Beer Judges!) We're looking for a few good tasters. The Upper Mississippi Mash-Out Beer, Mead and Cider Competition needs you! We will be doing two sessions of judging on Saturday, April 27 at 3pm and 7pm, and another session on Sunday, April 28 at 1:30pm. The location is Harwell's Steak House and Brewery in Shakopee. We have need of BJCP-certified judges, but you are welcome to help if you would like to learn how to judge - inexperienced judges will be teamed with Certified judges. This is the first year of this contest, cosponsored by the Minnesota Home Brewers Association and the St.Paul Homebrew Club. Please help us to make it a great success! For more information, go to http://www.mnbrewers.com/mashout. Contact us at mash-out(a)nbrewer.com if you are interested.

Re: Quotes

by Roger Deschner

Most of these came from a priceless but little-known source of beer quotes, "Michael Jackson's Little Book of Beer", which also contains the well-known such as: "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants to see us happy." - Benjamin Franklin to the less known such as: Bartender: "Can I draw you a beer, Norm?" Norm: "No. I know what they look like. Just pour me one." - TV show Cheers and the well-known but of forgotten source: "You can never buy beer; you just rent it." - ARCHIE BUNKER and the very, very, very, very old: "Beer he drank - seven goblets. His spirit was loosened. He became hillarious. His heart was glad and his face shone." - from "The Epic of Gilgamesh", 3,000 BC (5,000 years ago), the world's oldest narrative tale, from Mesopotamia. to finally, the way I feel this morning: "I'd hate to be a teetotaler. Imagine getting up in the morning and knowing that's as good as you're going to feel all day." - Dean Martin I keep the book next to my computer, for whenever I need a good beer quote. It is also a valuable reference for getting the right wording and source of many of the oft-misused beer quotes, since MJ's editors researched it all.
