First, HUGE thanks to Eric B. for organizing all of this!
Second, Byggvir's (the contest at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival) is accepting
entries and judges/stewards online from August 1-23rd. The website will be up and running
by then (Wilbur is currently in Iowa on a bike trip). But Eric is correct, please bring
your entries to the meeting with the paperwork filled out. Two bottles, $5, see attached
list for the categories. We are highly encouraging people to take a stab at brewing
historic styles. There will be medals for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places. Best of Show, and
first and second runner up will get pairs of very nice handmade mugs. Those who sign up
to help out to judge/steward/assist will get into the Renaissance Festival for free on
those day(s). Talk to me on Saturday if you have any questions.
Also, just a reminder that Jeff and Cathie Williamson have arranged for us to have a ROAST
PIG at the meeting. Please bring something potluck to share. Please bring a chair, in
case it is nice enough to take the feast outside!
Meeting is from 1-4 pm. See you there!
