Hi Club Friends!

 

I don't remember who is more "in charge" than others but wanted to confirm what I have spoken to many of you about already.  Because there is no NHC first round judging in Minneapolis this year, Northern Brewer has volunteered to be an unofficial drop-off site for local customers.  We will drive the drop offs to the Milwaukee drop off location (only) the last day of the drop off window (Wednesday, March 8th) so all entries MUST BE DROPPED OFF NO LATER THAN TUESDAY, MARCH 7TH.   Both Northern Brewer stores and Midwest Supplies will accept entries.  There will also be a Send Off Party at the Minneapolis store the evening before.  We encourage everyone to bring 2 extra bottles of your entries to share with your competitors!  More details on this soon.   

 

Please spread the word to your members.  We are not charging anyone for this.  It's purely a service we would like to provide local homebrewers to avoid the hassle and costs of shipping alcohol.  

 

Feel free to respond with any questions you might have. 

 

Cheers!
