Hello,
My name is Jason Strangstalien, I am organizing our annual St Patrick's Day Homebrew Contest in the beautiful bluff country of Winona, MN. Winona is located 116 miles south of Minneapolis right on the Mississippi River.
This contest will take place on Saturday, March 19th 2016. The judging location is in Winona, MN. We are breaking up the judging into 3 sessions, beginning at 9am, lunch at 11am (provided), 12pm noon, and 2:30pm. For each session, a team of two will be going through 8 homebrews. There will be tentatively 8 teams of 2 for each session (depending on final amount of entries received). It would be awesome if the judges could be here for all 3 sessions, but if you can come for 2 or even 1 sessions, we would appreciate it. The BJCP judges will be teamed up with an experienced homebrewer we select from the Rochester-La Crosse-Winona area. There will be a second meal provided after the final session wraps up.
It should be a great time, and a great way to celebrate St Patrick's Day in the bluff country! I hope that you can make it!
Thanks for the consideration,
Jason Strangstalien
