BABBLE is proud to announce that the 2008 Leap Beer Brew Off will again be a stop on the Midwest Homebrewer of the Year circuit (http://sphbc.truthbrew.com/mwhboy/) We are also pleased to bring you our Entrant Appreciation Drawing. The name of one participant will be selected at random and this person will win a special gift package. Each entry qualifies you in the drawing, so the more you submit the better your chances at winning! New in 2008: There will be a separate best of show judging for Meads and Ciders. Ribbons will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd best of show in these categories so dust off some of those bottles and take a chance on winning more ribbons. Attached is a zip file that contains the Competition Rules (.pdf & Word versions) and the Entry Form/Bottle Labels (.pdf & Excel interactive version). Please note if you are mailing entries, they must be shipped to: Bruce Dir, 1036 Evergreen Street, Mundelein, L 60060. DiCarlo's will not accept any shipments as it is against the law to ship alcohol to a liquor store.
