The KCBM is a fun competition with good people in Kansas City. They were one of the competitions we used as a model when we started the Upper Mississippi Mash-Out. Sign up to judge if you can! As far as entering beers there goes, it is a qualifier for both the High Plains Brewer of the Year award, as well as the Masters Championship of Amateur Brewing. - Al ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: John Fowler <jcfowler(a)gmail.com> To: judgenet(a)yahoogroups.com Sent: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 17:31:53 -0000 (UTC) Subject: [JudgeNet] 29th Annual Kansas City Bier Meisters Homebrew Competition - February 17-18 2012 Hi, We are now accepting judge registrations and entries for the 2012 KCBM Competition.
