Here is information about the Midwest Qualifying round for the AHA NHC (National Homebrew Competition).  It is being held in Urbandale, IA (near Des Moines) on April 21-22, only about 4 hours south down I-35.  

Last year we hosted this competition in St. Paul, and a lot of judges from Iowa came up to help.  Let's return the favor and help them judge this.  Be one of the judges who helps decides which beers go on to represent the Midwest in the final round of the NHC in Florida in June!
