I&#39;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.&nbsp; 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.<br>
<br>For providing a keg you will receive one of the custom UMMO 2009 tap handles create by Don Stock just for this event.&nbsp; There is also the possibility of winning the people&#39;s choice award with your beer, the people&#39;s choice award winner gets a bigger tap handle.&nbsp; New for this year we will have two people&#39;s choice awards.&nbsp; One will be for a beer served during the judging sessions and the other will be for a beer server during the banquet.&nbsp; Also new for this year will be how you vote for your choice.&nbsp; 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.<br>
<br>We can also get you a discount on ingredients and even a loaner keg to put the beer in so you don&#39;t have to worry about getting your keg back after the event.&nbsp; <br><br>If you are interested in providing a hospitality beer please let me know what style you will be providing.&nbsp; There are a limited number of the special tap handles available, be the first in your neighborhood to get one.<br clear="all">
