We would have liked to give more notice but our hop grower informed us of the cut off quite abruptly. • If you have pre-ordered: NB will contact you when rhizomes come in. • If you did not pre-order: NB will have a select amount of varieties for sale when we receive our pre-orders. These will sell on a first come, first served basis. No reserving of hops allowed. We will send a specific email about the hop rhizomes when they arrive. What's New at NB • Faucet Spout Plug $0.99 • Vinyl sleeve fits over the nozzle of most beer faucets to eliminate drips while not in use. • NB “Mine” Sticker Pack  $3.99 • The contents and ownership of a carboy or keg should never be in doubt! Each sticker has a blank space for your name and/or that of your beer. Includes six “Mine” stickers and one NB logo sticker. • Waiter Corkscrew  $4.99 • Unique hinged double-lever system, serrated knife blade, and teflon-coated worm. Countoured steel handle, 4 3/4” long.    Sneak Peak: Seasonal Wyeast and Beer Kits • All we can say is Brettanomyces. All of the new strains contain Brettanomyces strains, some blended with yeast. • Roselare Blend • Trappist Blend • Brettanomyces Clausenii • New Beer Kits • Notre Dame d'Golden Valley • Oud Bruin de Table • St. James' Gate Foreign Extra Stout • We should start to see these yeast strains and beer kits around the first or second week of April.

March Mashness • The Cloudy Town Brewers will be holding their Ninth Annual March Mashness Homebrew Competition open to all homebrewers throughout all 50 States.  The entry deadline has passed but we think they may be looking for judges and stewards, also if you around stop by the Best of Show awards on March 21st. • More information can be found by going here http://www.cloudytownbrewers.org/competition/ National Homebrew Competition • Northern Brewer is the Midwest region's location for entries in this year's National Homebrew Competition. • Shipping ONLY NHC 2009 Northern Brewer Warehouse 1945 W.
