CBS Spooky Brew Review Homebrew Competition

This is a call for judges, stewards, and entries, for the Chicago Beer Society's 15th annual Spooky Brew Review Homebrew Competition, on October 28, 2006. The renowned Flossmoor Station Restaurant & Brewery (1035 Sterling Avenue, Flossmoor, IL) will host the competition for the first time. As usual, the Spooky Brew Review will feature judging in all categories of the BJCP Style Guidelines. But the highlight is always the judging of the special Spooky (scariest) and Smashed Pumpkin (Worst of Show) categories - these should not be missed! Entries will be accepted October 5-19, and the fees are $7 for the first entry, $5 for each entry after that, or $1 for each entry in the Spooky and Smashed Pumpkin categories. Shipping address and drop-off locations are listed in the entry materials. The competition announcement, entry forms, bottle labels, judge registration/waiver forms, and the latest BJCP Style Guidelines are all available at the competition web site, at http://www.chibeer.org/spooky06.html So, please plan on entering, judging, stewarding, or just attending Spooky Brew Review 2006 -- it definitely doesn't get any crazier than this! For questions not answered at the web site, or to volunteer to judge or steward, email the organizers Roger Deschner at roger(a)chibeer.org and Tony Babinec at tony(a)chibeer.org.
