FYI //Mike Behrendt From: mnbrewers(a)yahoogroups.com [mailto:mnbrewers@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Steve Daiken Sent: Thursday, December 30, 2010 2:50 PM To: mnbrewers(a)yahoogroups.com Subject: [mnbrewers] 2011 Great Northern Brew-Ha-Ha! The 2011 Great Northern Brew-Ha-Ha will be held February 11-12th 2011. The Great Northern Brew-Ha-Ha is the second stop on the Midwest Homebrewer of the Year circuit. And this year (well, it will be "this year" in a day or so) there will be a change of venue. Yes we bid a fond farewell to the Belgian Club in Superior as the Brew-Ha-Ha moves across the bridge to Duluth, where it will be hosted at the Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites in Downtown Duluth http://www.holidayinn.com/hotels/us/en/duluth/dulmn/hoteldetail . The Holiday Inn has given us a great rate on hotel rooms for those who will need one. Just $79 per night to sleep an elevator's ride to the Brew-Ha-Ha event and just a few blocks walk to the many Duluth watering holes (Dubh Linn, Carmodys, Fitgers, Sir Benedicts Tavern, etc.). The Holiday Inn will also have a free shuttle to take you to The Thirsty Pagan and other "beer-places to-be-seen" in Superior. The Holiday Inn is holding a block of rooms for us until January 28th, after which rooms will be available on a first come, first serves basis. So if you plan to attend and will need a room, reserve one sooner rather than later. You can contact the Holiday Inn at 218-722-1202. Ask for the "Northern Ale Star rate" (nudge-nudge, wink-wink). We've also held the price of entries to $5.00 (cheap!). Registration for both entries and to volunteer to judge or steward begins January 17th and runs through January 31st. And as has been the custom, we will haul your entries which are brought to the 2011 Upper Mississippi Mash-Out (www.mashout.org) back to Duluth for free to save on shipping. Entry details can be found at http://www.northernalestars.org/greatnorthernbrewhaha.html . The links to register entries or to volunteer will appear on that same web page beginning January 17th. Duluth is a short journey for all you judges looking for judging points. Cheers and Happy New Beers!
