Thank you to everyone who entered and helped out and entered the 6th Annual Byggvir's Big Beer Cup! And thanks to everyone that stopped by to say hello while at the Renaissance Festival.
This year, we had about 240+ entries. Over 80 brewers entered and over 40 different people won medals! You can view the winners at www.rennfestbeercup.com
Please join us tomorrow, Tuesday, September 4th at Town Hall Brewery in Minneapolis at 7 pm to pick up your score sheets and medals. At that time, Mike Hoops will announce who was selected as the "Brewer's Choice." There are hand-made drinking vessels for Best of Show winners, as well as gift certificates and other fantastic prizes from our sponsors that will be given out to winners of the various categories. I hope you can join us!

The September Minnesota Home Brewers Assoc. club meeting is at Fulton Brewery on Monday, September 17th at 6:30 pm. The owners will be present to give us a tour and talk about the brewery. Because this is considered a special event, we are allowed to bring in home brew. (I have a soft spot for the Fulton guys, since they took my BJCP exam prep many years ago and I am very glad that they are able to open the brewery for us.)
The AHA Club Only style for September/October is Light Hybrid Beers. Please bring your BJCP Category 6: Cream Ales, Blonde Ales, Kolsch, and American Wheat/Rye. Kurt Smelser will be working with other club members to select our club's representative.
Since this is dinner time, I have arranged for Jellybean & Julia's food truck to be outside. The truck is owned by club members Cory and Koli Swap. I have had them cater and their pulled pork is excellent, so I am very excited that they are going to be here. I can't wait to try their other items! More info and to check out their fun menu: http://www.jellybeanandjulias.com/ (Please bring cash.)
If you entered Byggvir's and are not able to pick up your scoresheets (and hopefully prizes/medal) on Sept, 4th, let me know, and I will bring your stuff to the MHBA club meeting.
