Entries will be accepted between August 25 and September 6. Please ship entries to: Upstream Brewing Co. ATTN: Zac Triemert/DCF 514 S. 11th St. Omaha, NE 68102 Local entries will be accepted between 9 am and Noon on Saturday, September 6, 2003 at the Upstream. This is a BJCP-sanctioned competition. Entries will be accepted in all recognized BJCP-recognized style categories. This competition has been held for approximately 10 years, and has been BJCP sanctioned for the last 3 or 4 years. It has generally been a small competition. We are hoping to grow this into a nice event that can tie into Omaha's fall festival, River City Roundup. There are no events (such as a potluck dinner or pub crawl) planned at this time, but we hope that we can add those type of events in the future. We are looking forward to being associated with the High Plains Homebrewer of the Year competition! There will be more information to follow concerning a URL for web-based info on the event. John R.
