[mba] Hospitality beer for Upper Mississippi Mash Out

I'm still looking for a few volunteers to provide some kegs of homebrew for the 2009 Upper Mississippi Mash Out on the weekend of January 23-24. While the banquet will have a German theme and we will have a number of homebrewed German lager styles already lagering away for the event we are also look for other styles both for the banquet and during the judging. For providing a keg you will receive one of the custom UMMO 2009 tap handles create by Don Stock just for this event. There is also the possibility of winning the people's choice award with your beer, the people's choice award winner gets a bigger tap handle. New for this year we will have two people's choice awards. One will be for a beer served during the judging sessions and the other will be for a beer server during the banquet. Also new for this year will be how you vote for your choice. You will vote with money, the beer the at collects the most money will win the award and all the money will be donated to the food shelf. We can also get you a discount on ingredients and even a loaner keg to put the beer in so you don't have to worry about getting your keg back after the event. If you are interested in providing a hospitality beer please let me know what style you will be providing. There are a limited number of the special tap handles available, be the first in your neighborhood to get one. -- Steve Piatz sjpiatz(a)gmail.com
