RESULTS: 2002 Autumn HOMEBrew Review - Sept 7, 2002

Congratulations to all of the winners of the 2002 Autumn HOMEBrew Review held Sept. 7, 2002 at the Autumn Brew Review on Peavey Plaza in downtown Minneapolis. Though it was a 90+ degree day, I'm sure all who attended would agree that it was a blast, and tasting the 100 or so craft beers from all over the upper Midwest was well worth braving the heat. If you entered a beer, thank you for entering! Your score sheets should be mailed to you in the next week or so. Please enter again next year - the awards ceremony will again be at the Autumn Brew Review on September 6, 2003. Mark your calendars! View our website at http://www.mnbrewers.com/events/august for information. Thanks to all of the judges, stewards and other volunteers that made the contest and our booth at the Autumn Brew Review so successful! And thanks to all of our sponsors! Please patronize them, and thank them for sponsoring the Autumn HOMEBrew Review!
