. Registration for entries runs through January 31st. All entries brought
to the 2011 Upper Mississippi Mash-Out (www.mashout.org) will be hauled back to Duluth for free, so
you save on shipping. Entry details can be found at http://www.northernalestars.org/greatnorthernbrewhaha.html
. You can also drop-off your entries at Northern Brewer in St. Paul (no later
than Saturday, January 29th) and we will pick them up from there as well.
