The Minnesota All-Club Campout was this past weekend at Camp Nushka, near Cass Lake, MN. If you weren’t there – TOO BAD! A good time was had by all!

The Master of Malt competition was held, with each club in attendance entering up to four brews to represent their club: one for ALES, one for LAGERS, one for BELGIANS, and one for MEAD/CIDERS.

Here are the results – please pass this along to anyone else who may be interested.
