LAST CHANCE! Free delivery for entries to AHA Nationals

Thanks to everyone who brought in their entries to the club meeting on Saturday for the Midwest qualifiying round of the AHA Nationals! Rick Oftel will be driving them down on April 14, and has said that he would take late entries from MhBA members up until the evening of April 13 if you drive them over to his house. The AHA National Homebrew Competition is the BIGGEST homebrew competition in the world! Entries to the Midwest qualifier will be judged by BJCP judges from all over the Midwest. If you HAVEN'T entered before, they have a special "NEW ENTRANT" category where you can enter any style you like. A common misconception at the meeting on Saturday was that you couldn't enter an EXTRACT brew. WRONG-O! Every year, about 30-40% of the winners at the FINALS are extract beers! Finally, 1st, 2nd and 3rd place entries at the qualifying round pass on to the finals in Florida in June, and get points for the MhBA for Homebrew Club of the Year (as do 1st-3rd place at the finals round.) If you win 1st-3rd in Iowa, you'll need to send 3 more bottles per win to the Nationals. NO ADDITIONAL ENTRY FEE, and you'll have time to RE-BREW if you don't have 3 bottles left of your winning beers. Test your brew against the best in the Midwest, and in the country, and support your club at the same time! Enter your beers in the AHA National Homebrew Competition! Entry forms are here: http://www.beertown.com/events/nhc/pdf/nhc06_entry_form.pdf Rules are here: http://www.beertown.com/events/nhc/pdf/NHC06_rules.pdf Cost is $8 per beer for non-AHA members, $12 for AHA members. Drop your entries off at Rick and Dawn Oftel's house by Thursday evening, 4/13. Make sure they're READY TO GO, forms rubber-banded to the beers, check attached to one of your entries.
