Greetings and salutations!
The Oregon Brew Crew cordially invites you to attend the 7th Annual Fall Classic Homebrew Competition, a fully sanctioned AHA/BJCP comp, in Portland, Oregon on Saturday, November 10th, 2007. We are currently looking for judges to volunteer their skills in judging their choice of the myriad categories that are open. As in years past, every category in the 2004 BJCP Style Guidelines are open to entrants, which means you'll probably find something you're interested in sampling.
As usual, if you are entering something in the competition, not a problem; you can judge the categories you have no entries in. If you decide not to judge, we always need stewards and your good company. :)
We've created an online judge registration form located here: http://www.1000bottlesofbeer.com/fall_classic_judging.asp
It's fairly self-explanatory. However if you have questions, feel free to email them to obc-comp@oregonbrewcrew.com and we'll answer them as quickly as possible.
If you are coming from out of town and would like assistance finding suitable accommodations and local transportation options, we will be happy to provide that information upon your request. As well, if you have special needs let us know and we'll be happy to assist in any way we can.
This year the
competition will be held at a brand new brewpub, opening fairly soon;
Hopworks Urban
Brewing, located at 2944 SE Powell Blvd., Portland, OR 97202. Run by
Christian Ettinger and Ben Love, Hopworks will be brewing 100%
certified organic beer. They'll be drawing upon safe and renewable
energy resources such as Green Mountain
Power for electricity and using waste oil and biodiesel to power their
kettle burner. The Oregon Brew Crew thanks Christian and Ben for their
gracious gift of precious pub space in which to have our competition. So come on out, have some beers, have some comments to say about those beers, and have a great time! We'd love to see you.
Cheers,
