Missed out on getting a ticket for WinterFest? Then this is the place to be! I've gone to the Great Northern Brew-Ha-Ha to judge the last two years and it is a gas!
Hope to see some of you up there!

Greetings fellow Homebrewers!
The Northern Ale Stars Homebrewers Guild from the Twin Ports of Duluth, MN and Superior, WI invite you to participate in the 2009 Great Northern Brew-ha-ha. This is a BJCP sanctioned event that is also a qualifying event for the Midwest Homebrewer of the Year!
Registration is open now until January 30th to volunteer or enter your beer at our website: www.northernalestars.org . Judging will be held at the Belgian Club in Superior, WI February 6-7, with an awards banquet on Saturday, February 7th. The Best of Show winner will be brewing the winning recipe at the Thirsty Pagan Brewing in Superior (sorry, you don't get a cut of the action!). In addition to the normal BJCP categories, we will also be giving awards for best new entrant, best beer name, and our very own "Snowblower" category (you know, the beer you grab after a hard day of snowblowing).
Our competition has been growing every year; we are looking for additional judges and stewards to make this our best event ever! Flights will start on Friday at 1:00, 4:00 and 7:00 pm and again on Saturday at 10:00 am.
If you have any questions or need more information, please contact me at: vp@northernalestars.org
