Inter-club Campout Homebrew Competition! July 19

As bearer of the travelling Master Of Malt trophy, it is my responsibility and pleasure to announce the 2003 Inter-Club Campout Homebrew Competition! It will be held Saturday afternoon, July 19, at the Inter-Club Campout at Collinwood County Park, near Cokato, MN. The campout is hosted this year by the Cloudy Town Brewers. The four categories for this year's competition are: 6.A. California Common 7. India Pale Ale 12. C. Russian Imperial Stout 25.B. Varietal Honey Traditional Mead Each club participating is invited to present TWO BOTTLES of each style to represent your club. Each of the four styles will be judged separately, and ribbons will be awarded for first, second and third place. Then the first place entries of each style will be evaluated in a Best-Of-Show competition to determine the 2003 MASTER OF MALT. Who will be judging you say? YOU will! We'll split into tables of volunteers who don't have an entry in that category. The participating clubs (to date) are: The Cloudy Town Brewers The Minnesota Home Brewers Association The Prairie Homebrewing Companions The Minnesota Timberworts ...and NEW to the campout this year... The St. Paul Homebrewers Club. WELCOME! Good luck, and may the best brewer win! - Al PS - Come out to the campout Friday and warm up your tastebuds for the competition on Saturday! I have it on good authority that it won't be as stormy as it was last year.... (How COULD it be??? :-D ) PPS- Wayne, I don't have an email address for the Timberworts mailing list - could you please pass this on? Thanks!
