Subject: State Fair homebrew competition volunteer information
Hello!
Thank you all so much for volunteering for this weekends competition!
I have a preliminary judging schedule made up which you can see if you log into your
registration information on the website. Know that things may change but if you are
assigned to judge we expect to see you there! Please let me know if you are no longer
available. Those that have signed up to steward will not be placed ahead of time, so
please show up and we'll place you prior to the session starting.
Dinner will be served Friday, followed by Summit brewery beers, and raffle prizes. For
those unable to make it Friday we'll save some raffle prizes for Saturday. Light
breakfast and Lunch will also be provided Saturday. All judges will receive a state fair
ticket and some complimentary Summit Brewery beers.
Speaking of Summit Brewery.... This year Chip and the lovely folks in charge are allowing
us to use the training room as our judging headquarters! A/C for the win!
The training room is located in the Summit Brewery office building behind/east of the main
brewery. Take a left after the train tracks before you enter the cul de sac and follow
that to the smaller canning building (follow the beer pipeline). You can park back there
or park in the main brewery lot and follow the beer pipeline through the grass to the
training center. I've attached a map and there should be signage at the breweries
main doors.
The address for Summit Brewery is 910 Montreal Circle, Saint Paul.
I've also attached a word document which lists the State Fair categories we will be
using for this competition.
Please download the 2015 BJCP Beer Styles Application to your phone prior to the
competition, as we won't have any printed out guidelines.
First time volunteers, please arrive 20 min prior to your session so you can attend a
quick orientation for your judging or steward position and announcements.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
And please thank Chip, and all the other employees while there! They are awesome to let us
use their space.
Reminder, please join us at the live Best of Show awards ceremony on Saturday August 27.
The judging will begin at 11am and awards will follow on the MN Craft Brewers Guild stage
in the horticulture building.
Thanks again and see you this weekend!
