Re: [phc-club] Campout Styles

Hi Susan, Curt & All, Sorry for the late reply but I have been out of town. Good call Susan. I did include the cask ale and plan on it. So we have: Open Cask Ale, Open Belgian, Open Lager, Open Ale & Open Mead. As far as I'm concerned, the samples can come out of kegs, growlers etc. If you have your sample bottled two or three would be great. I know these open categories are not very popular with some people. I would like to see the campout get back to what it originally was. Beer lovers getting together to meet friends, talk beer, drink other peoples beer and share their own beer no matter if it fit into any category or not. This informal forum has led to sharing of information, fantastic beers, meads, wines and cask ales. There are too many great brewers in our clubs that are not attending. Maybe this informal judging and expanded beer category will help. I am in the process of revamping 5 of my brewing trophies into traveling trophies for the favorite beer in each open category. The original master of malt keg will go to the master of malt as usual. I would like to see this format continued so we can involve more people. We have so many BJCP events but so few low key events like this one. Hopefully, people will get behind it.

It wasn't mentioned in Curt's e-mail listing the styles.

They will be judged in the best of show format. The samples can come from kegs, growlers, bottles, etc. Samples will be labeled as to what type of beer/mead they are. I would like to see an experimental open cask ale category also. All the details to come later. Hopefully, this will get more brewers involved. I have a BJCP type event planned also, stay tuned.
