Anybody want to judge in Chicago on Sept 9 & 10 for the Sam Adams LONGSHOT competition? Free hotel! - Al -----Original Message----- From: mba-bounce(a)thebarn.com [mailto:mba-bounce@thebarn.com] On Behalf Of Formanek, Joe Sent: Monday, August 21, 2006 11:05 AM To: CBS-HB(a)LISTSERV.UIC.EDU Subject: Longshot competition Sept 9 and 10 Howdy! Well, we are in a quandary! I'm sure most of you have heard about the Longshot Homebrew Competition sponsored by Sam Adams. Entries were dropped off at or mailed to 5 different sites across the country - including a location (Brew and Grow) in Chicago. 445 entries are now sitting at Brew and Grow ready to be judged at a hotel in downtown Chicago. We need judges to do this! The offer is - Sam Adams is offering to put up judges at the hotel overnight (Sept 9), feed you breakfast, lunch and dinner, give you free parking, and perhaps other perks that I am trying to arrange for. All you need to do is come downtown for the weekend. This is an AHA/BJCP registered competition, so you will receive points just as you would with any normal competition. Schedule is to have 2-3 flights on Saturday and do BOS on Sunday morning to decide the entry to be passed on for the finals. Just let me know if you are interested, and I will get you further details. We are looking for 50 judges, along with a number of stewards. I'd prefer BJCP types, but please let me know if you are interested even if you are not BJCP. I'll fit you in somewhere! Cheers! Joe
