Mark your calendar and join us as a judge or steward for the 7th Annual Minnesota State Fair Homebrewed Beer, Mead and Cider Competition!
Judging will take place on Friday, evening August 21st (sessions at 5 and 7:30 pm), AND Saturday, August 22nd (sessions at 8:30, 11 and 1:30), on the State Fair grounds at the Creative Activities Annex. We need both judges and stewards for all sessions!
What is a steward, you ask. . .Stewarding is a great way to see what happens at a homebrew competition. The stewards assist the judges by getting beers from the cellar, managing the paperwork and helping with any other requests. Often the judges will pour beer for the steward and let them taste along.
Once you get there scroll down (it is a ways down) to the section entitled "Judging" - click the button that says "I would like to volunteer to judge!" Clicking that will take you into the database to sign up. Once you have registered in the database it will allow you to select specific times you are available and whether you would like to judge or steward.
