Hear ye!  Hear ye!

You still have two weeks to drop off your beer, cider, and mead entries for Byggvir's Big Beer Cup at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival.  Drop off locations are at Midwest Supplies, Northern Brewer, and Still H2O and they are accepting your entries through August 31st.

Judging will be held at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival over Labor Day Weekend (September 5^th-7^th).  There will be pairs of hand-made drinking vessels and gift certificates given out for Best of Show, as well as First and Second Runner-Up.  We have been working hard to acquire other prizes as well, including a gift certificate for the best historic beer. 

It looks like we are going to easily double our entries from last year, so please sign up to help out.  We welcome judges of all skill levels---even ones who have never judged before (but you do need to be at least 21 years old).  The contest will be scheduled so you will have plenty of time to enjoy the the Renaissance Festival and you will get in for free the days you help out.  We are also looking for stewards and people interested in talking to Fest goers about the homebrewing and the MHBA.

For more information about the contest, including a list of accepted brewing styles, entry information, and judge/steward sign-up, check out our website: www.rennfestbeercup.com. 

Huzzzah!
