Entries are now being accepted for Byggvir's Big Beer Cup at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival! 
 
The beer, mead, and cider categories were selected to be reminescent of the "historic" charter of the Renn Fest, including special categories for historic-hopped and historic-nonhopped beers.  Entries are $5 each, two bottles required, and are being accepted through August 24th.  Entries are open to brewers in all states.
 
We are still looking for people to help with judging and stewards over the Labor Day weekend (September 1-3rd) at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival grounds.  On the day(s) you sign up to volunteer, you will get free entry into the Festival with plenty of time to enjoy the sights.  All judging skill levels are welcome.  This is an AHA/BJCP registered event. Costumes encourages.  T-shirts will be provided.
 
More information about the contest, entries forms, and judge/steward sign up are at: www.rennfestbeercup.com.
 
Hope to see you soon!
