Special Categories for 2006
River City Roundup Bullshooter's Cup
The cup is awarded to the brewer who
accumulates the most points in the
competition. Points will be awarded
on the following basis: 1st - 5 pts., 2nd -
3 pts, 3rd - 1 pt. The winner will receive
a personalized, commemorative,
laser-etched mug.
Cornhusker Cup
In the land of tall corn (where the
term "knee high by the 4th of July"
describes a crop that is right on schedule),
the economic balance of a successful
year often hinges on the crop of this
simple plant of the grass family
Gramineae, "zea mays." Plentiful
and cheap, this grain adjunct often gets a bad
rap in brewing circles.
We're paying homage to this highly fermentable
adjunct by once again
presenting this specialty class for
the 2006 River City Roundup Fair and Festival.
Entries in this categoy must contain
AT LEAST 25% corn (brewer's choice).
Most common forms are flaked maize or
corn grits. Corn must be detectable on
the palate but in balance with the other
fermentables. Beers entered in the CAP
category are not eligible for entry
in the Cornhusker Cup.
The winning beer will be judged on its
own merit, particularly drinkability.
The winning brewer will receive a personalized
mug. Good luck!
"Maize" the force be with
you!
