2009 Upper Mississippi Mashout

2009 Upper Mississippi Mash-Out Now that summer is gone and fall has seen better days it's time to start thinking about the 2009 Upper Mississippi Mash-out. With entries due in less than 80 days there is plenty of time to brew award winning beers. Along with judging there will be a presentation by Kirby Nelson from Capital Brewery in Madison Wisconsin, an indoor pub crawl with beer from local breweries and Brewpubs, and a German themed banquet featuring cuisine prepared by Manny Krug. In addition to the 28 BJCP categories there will be a New brewer and Eis-anything category again this year. The Upper Mississippi Mash-Out is a qualifying event for the <http://www.kcbm.org/NewHighplains.htm> High Plains Brewer of the Year award, the <http://sphbc.truthbrew.com/mwhboy/> Midwest Homebrewer of the Year award! and the <http://hbd.org/mcab/> Masters Championship of Amateur Brewing (MCAB) competition!
